🍹 COCKTAIL OF THE WEEK
The World’s Best Amaretto Sour
The Amaretto Sour is another 80s cocktail that often gets a bad rep. And, rightly so when it’s made like this 🤣🤣
Portland bartender and author, Jeffrey Morgenthaler, saved the drink's reputation by reintroducing fresh ingredients and adding in a cask-strength bourbon whiskey. Amaretto liqueur is too sweet and weak on its own, so the higher-strength whiskey adds proof, cutting back it's sweetness, whilst the fresh egg white adds a velvety texture.
I took it one step further and tested out 3 of the big name amaretto brands to find out which one works best in an Amaretto Sour. The results were surprising! Find out my favorite here.
