Negroni Sour
Ingredients
- 1 large egg white
- 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice ~ 1/2 lemon (see Notes)
- 1-1/2 ounces gin
- 3/4 ounce Campari
- 1 ounce amaro
- 1/4 ounce freshly orange juice ~ 1/4 orange (see Notes)
- 1/4 ounce simple syrup see Notes
- Garnish: orange wheel
Instructions
- Separate egg white and place in a shaker. Add lemon juice.
- Shake for 20 to 30 seconds or until frothy. [This is known as a dry shake as there’s no ice.]
- Add gin, Campari, amaro, orange juice and simple syrup to shaker. Top with a cup full of ice. Shake for about 20 seconds.
- Strain into a martini or coupe glass.
- Garnish with an orange wheel.
Notes
* Before squeezing the lemon and orange, heat them in a microwave for about 20 seconds each and then rub them back and forth on the counter top. This easy two-step process results in more juice per piece of fruit.
SIMPLE SYRUP
1 cup (8 ounces) water
1 cup granulated sugar
Bring the water to a simmer in a saucepan set over medium-high heat. Add the sugar and stir until it completely dissolves. Remove the pan from the heat. Set aside to cool to room temperature. Pour the syrup into a clean 1-pint bottle, cap it and refrigerate it until needed. Makes 1½ cups and keeps two months or longer in the refrigerator.
