Melon Sour Recipe

Cocktail Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Melon Purée

   If you don't have melon purée ready, take ripe melon and blend it until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids, and set aside.

2. 2

   Mix Ingredients

   In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of vodka, 1 oz of melon purée, 0.5 oz of Averna, 0.75 oz of fresh lemon juice, and 1 large egg white. The egg white will add a nice frothy texture to your cocktail.

3. 3

   Dry Shake

   First, do a dry shake (without ice) for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create froth.

4. 4

   Wet Shake

   Add 1 cup of ice cubes into the shaker. Shake again vigorously for about 20 seconds until well chilled.

5. 5

   Strain the Cocktail

   Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or cocktail glass using a fine mesh strainer to catch any solids.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Garnish with a slice of melon on the rim of the glass and add 2-3 dashes of bitters on top. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Melon Sour!
