A big round of thanks to Dagreb for once again hosting this month's Mixology Monday! And this time he has a clever theme, and an even cleverer title!
Overproof spirits is really a theme I can get behind; I've been known to have a few bottles of such things lying around. And what's more, Dagreb has firmly defined his theme of "overproof" to be at least over 100 proof, so we're not going to be seeing any sissies thinking they're hot with their whiskies bottled in bond.
I'm going to keep up the "shitty drink" theme that I've got going and post another. This time it comes from one of our booze blogging forefathers Jeffrey Morgenthaler. He claims that he makes the best Amaretto Sour in the world, and his secret is cask strength bourbon. How could he not have your attention?
The result is delicious. The bourbon acts as a force multiplier and isn't even noticeable in the final result. Check it out.
Morgenthaler's Amaretto Sour
1.5 oz amaretto
.75 oz cask strength bourbon
1 oz lemon juice
1 tsp rich simple syrup*
1/2 oz egg white
Dry shake, then shake with ice. Double strain into an old fashioned glass filled with ice. Garnish with lemon peel and cocktail cherry.
*Cheap amaretti are usually sweeter than the expensive stuff. You may not need need to add the syrup when you make the drink.
