- 60 ml Disaronno amaretto
- 30 ml Lemon juice
- 20 ml Egg white
- 2 Maraschino cocktail cherries
- Ice
Instructions

Notes
- Choose Your Glass: Decide what glass you want to use. If you like it neat, go for a sours glass. But if you prefer it on the rocks, grab a tumbler and fill it with big ice cubes.
- Pick the Right Amaretto: Use an Amaretto with around 28% alcohol by volume, like Disaronno. Other types might not taste as good in this recipe.
- Get Icy: Make sure you’ve got plenty of ice. You want your drink nice and cold.
- Shake it Up: If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, no worries! Just use a big jar with a lid that screws on tight.
- Sweetness Check: This drink is already pretty sweet, so you might not need any sugar syrup. But if you like it sweeter, go ahead and add some. Give it a taste, then decide if you want more sweetness. If you add syrup, don’t forget to shake it again.
- Adjust the Flavor: If it’s too sweet for you, add a bit more lemon juice or bourbon to balance it out.
- Don’t Forget the Dry Shake: Give the cocktail a dry shake first. This helps the egg white start to foam up. Then add ice and shake again. This cools everything down and makes the foam stronger.
- Vegan Option: If you’re vegan or don’t want to use egg white, just leave it out or try using aquafaba instead. That’s the liquid from a can of chickpeas. Start with about 2 tablespoons.
