Ingredients
  

  • 1 egg white
  • 3 ounces Amaretto
  • 1.5 ounces bourbon
  • 2 ounces lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons simple syrup
  • 1 lemon twist
  • 2 brandied cherries optional

Instructions
 

  • Put the egg white in a shaker or ball jar, and give several good shakes to loosen it.
  • Add the remaining liquids and shake again. Add ice to the container and shake or swirl to chill it. Pour into lowballs over ice.
  • Garnish with the twist and, if using, the cherries.

Notes

If you don't want to use a shaker you can use a hand blender or whisk to make the egg white gently frothy.
