What is the bartender tip for a Amaretto Limoncello Sour?
Bourbon is the base (60 ml); amaretto and limoncello go in equal (30 ml) and already sweeten — no syrup. Lemon, not lime: lime comes out greener and buries the almond. The video spec shakes with ice only; a dry shake first builds a firmer foam, if you want it. Pasteurized egg white behind the bar. Angostura on the foam is aroma, not a pour. The catalog's Amaretto Sour flips the hierarchy: 45 ml of liqueur, 22.5 ml of bourbon, and syrup, no limoncello. Gold rum covers the bourbon in the variant — the drink comes out lighter and more vanilla.
