Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. Put the egg white in a shaker or ball jar, and give several good shakes to loosen it.
  2. Add the remaining liquids and shake again. Add ice to the container and shake or swirl to chill it. Pour into lowballs over ice.
  3. 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.
