Curious about that bottle of Old Tom Gin you found at your local market? Find the definition under “O,” then learn about how it compares to London dry gin by reading the “Gin” entry. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Also included are recipes for 115 essential cocktails, the blocks on which contemporary bar programs are built. Whether you’re looking to order confidently at the bar or build out your liquor shelf at home, the terms and recipes provided here should give you everything you need to fluently speak “bartender.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e-------------------------------------------\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAmaretto Sour\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For many people, the name of this drink conjures up bottled cocktail mixers and university bar crowds of a certain variety. Portland bartender Jeffrey Morgenthaler’s higher-proof but feathery-light egg white version makes for a sophisticated take on the standard recipe. His version relies on a backbone of strong bourbon, an unusual addition that rounds out the fruit of a high-quality amaretto, a liqueur made from almonds and apricot pits. Egg white blends and buoys the stronger ingredients, creating a more sophisticated cocktail than most of the Amaretto Sours to come before it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Serves 1\u003cbr\u003e 1½ ounces amaretto (preferably Lazzaroni) \u003cbr\u003e ¾ ounce bourbon, cask proof (Booker’s is a good bet) \u003cbr\u003e 1 ounce lemon juice \u003cbr\u003e 1 teaspoon simple syrup, rich (2:1, sugar:water) \u003cbr\u003e ½ ounce egg white \u003cbr\u003e Garnish: lemon peel and a brandied cherry\u003cbr\u003e Glassware: rocks \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker and dry shake.
