Disaronno Sour
Disaronno sour is a classic cocktail using Amaretto liqueur. The addition of bourbon turns this version of the Amaretto sour into a gorgeous, well-balanced libation that has its sweet and sourness perfectly in tune with each other.

Notes
- Use an Amaretto with an abv level of 28% such as Disaronno. This cocktail recipe has been devised based on this type of Amaretto and using a weaker one may not yield the best balance of flavours.
- Decide what glass you would like to serve your Disaronno sure cocktail in:
- Opt for a sours glass (as pictured) if you do not want to serve it over ice.
- Alternatively, load a tumbler with large ice cubes and pour it in.
- Use plenty of ice in the cocktail shaker to ensure your drink is well chilled.
- If you do not own a cocktail shaker, use a large glass jar with a screwtop lid instead.
- Don't skip the dry shake - this enables the protein in the egg white to begin to form foam. Once ice has been added a second shake then serves to cool and dilute the drink and strengthen the foam
- Once it’s mixed, take a sip of your Disaronno sour cocktail before pouring and adjust the flavours to suit your own requirements:
- If it’s too sour, add a little sugar syrup.
- If it’s too sweet, add a little more lemon and/ or bourbon.
- For a vegan/ egg-free version, simply leave out the egg white or use aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas) in place of the egg white. Try adding 2 tablespoons
