History:
Adapted from a recipe created in 2012 by Jeffrey Morgenthaler in Oregon, USA. Jeffrey's original formula calls for
45ml (1½oz) Amaretto
22.5ml (¾oz) Cask-strength bourbon
30ml (1oz) Lemon juice
5ml (1 spoon) Sugar syrup (2:1)
15ml (½oz) Egg white
Review:
As the name suggests, this cocktail is dominated by amaretto, with lemon juice providing the sour balancing element and a slug of bourbon giving backbone.
