Amaretto Whiskey Sour Delight

This Amaretto Whiskey Sour Delight is a delightful and refreshing cocktail that combines the sweet almond flavor of amaretto liqueur with the rich, smooth taste of bourbon or whiskey. The addition of fresh lemon juice and a touch of sweetness from simple syrup creates a perfectly balanced drink with a velvety texture from the frothy egg white. The cocktail is finished with a dash of bitters, a twist of lemon, and an optional pitted black cherry for an elegant presentation.
