Velvet Vanilla Amaretto Sour

Instructions

Dry Shake (Optional):
If using the egg white, add it to a cocktail shaker without ice and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds to create a light foam.
Add Ingredients:
Add the amaretto, vanilla vodka, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, heavy cream, and a handful of ice cubes to the shaker.
Shake Well:
Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled, creamy, and frothy.
Strain and Serve:
Strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice.
Garnish:
Top with a maraschino cherry and a twist of lemon. For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle caramel or vanilla syrup over the foam.

For a truly silky texture, always perform the dry shake if using egg white.
Heavy cream gives a richer mouthfeel; half-and-half works for a lighter version.
Rim the glass lightly with sugar or vanilla sugar for extra elegance.
Perfect as a dessert cocktail for dinner parties or special occasions.
