Tuscan Sour
Taking inspiration from Italy, this sour uses amaro and Chianti for an elevated spin on a New York sour. Built around high-quality Canadian rye whisky and featuring a red wine float and Angostura bitter hearts to garnish, this one is full of flavour. We recommend using Lot No. 40 100% Rye Canadian Whisky, Amaro Montenegro and Cecchi Chianti to craft this cocktail.Ingredients
Serves 1
2 oz (60 ml) Lot No. 40 Rye Canadian Whisky
½ oz (15 ml) Amaro Montenegro
¾ oz (22 ml) fresh lemon juice
¾ oz (22 ml) Simple Syrup*
½ oz (15 ml) egg whites
½ oz (15 ml) Cecchi Chianti
6 to 8 drops Angostura bitters
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, combine whisky, amaro, lemon juice, Simple Syrup and egg whites. Fill with ice and shake for 10 seconds. Fine strain into an old-fashioned glass over fresh ice. For red wine float, slowly and carefully pour wine over back of a bar spoon to layer it nicely into drink. Add bitters with a dropper, cut through them with a toothpick to create hearts and serve. * 1:1 ratio of granulated sugar dissolved in boiling water. Allow to cool before using.
