AMARO SOUR
SERVES 1
The slightly-sweet citrus of a classic sour suits a vegetal, herbaceous amaro here.
60ml amaro
30ml lemon juice
10ml sugar syrup made at a 1:1 ratio
(see Note)
3 dashes vegan foamer, or 1 egg white bitters, to serve
Put all the ingredients in a shaker and wet shake first (to emulsify the vegan foamer or egg white) then open the shaker, top up with ice and shake for another 8-10 seconds. Pour the cocktail through a strainer into a rocks glass over a big ice cube. Garnish with a drop of bitters. NOTE: For a 1:1 simple syrup, add equal parts white sugar and water to a pot. Heat gently and stir until dissolved, but do not boil. Pour into a bottle and leave to cool. Keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
