Xanthan Gum Free Classic Amaretto Sour

Few cocktails hit the sweet-tart balance quite like a well-made Amaretto Sour, and this version earns every sip. The combination of amaretto and bourbon gives it a nutty, caramel depth that straight amaretto alone can never quite achieve, while fresh lemon juice keeps everything bright and lively. The real magic here is the pasteurized egg white — dry-shaken first to build a silky, cloud-like foam before the ice ever touches it, creating that gorgeous layered look when you pour it over a rocks glass. For anyone navigating thickener-free drinking, this cocktail is a natural fit since the frothy texture comes entirely from technique and the egg white, with zero additives or stabilizers involved. Double-straining through a fine-mesh strainer gives you a clean, polished finish with that signature foam sitting proudly on top. A Luxardo cherry and a twist of lemon peel turn it into something that looks as good as it tastes. It's the kind of drink that makes a Tuesday feel like a special occasion.
