Method
Cocktail
Prepare and combine
Chill an old-fashioned glass by filling it with ice and setting aside. In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz amaretto, 1 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 1 egg white if using.
Dry shake (if using egg white)
If you've added the egg white, secure the shaker and shake vigorously without ice for 10–15 seconds to emulsify and build foam.
Wet shake
Add ice to the shaker (enough to fill) and shake again vigorously for 10–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly frothy.
Discard the ice from the chilled old-fashioned glass. Strain the cocktail over a large ice cube (or fresh ice) into the glass. If you skipped the egg white, you can double-strain to remove small ice chips.
Garnish & Serve
Garnish with a maraschino or brandied cherry and a lemon wheel or twist placed on the rim or floated on top. Serve immediately.
