mario's amaretto sour

1 oz Dewar's Scotch (Famous Grouse Black)
1 oz Lazzaroni Amaretto (Disaronno)
3/4 oz Lemon Juice
1 tsp Rich Simple (1/4 oz 1:1)
1/2 Egg White (1 whole Egg White)

Shake one round without ice and one round with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with 7 drop Angostura Bitters.Two Tuesdays ago, I decided to delve into an online set of recipe flashcards for the current menu at Cure in New Orleans. Mario's Amaretto Sour crafted by Chris Paolini made me think of an Amaretto Sour crossed with a Godfather, so I was curious to give it a try. Moreover, the whiskey component reminded me of Jeffrey Morgenthaler's Amaretto Sour that inspired me to use overproof rum in my Am-Am Sour with Amaro Averna and Amaretto that I created at Drink. Once assembled, Mario's Amaretto Sour showcased a nutty almond and clove bouquet. Next, a creamy lemon and almond sip flowed into Scotch and almond flavors on the swallow. While there were no great surprises here, I did find the combination a level up from the classic.
