The Godmother Sour is a revisited version of the classic Godmother cocktail. It combines the sweetness of Amaretto with the strength of whiskey, all enhanced by the vibrancy of lemon for a cocktail that is both indulgent, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. An original alternative to the Whisky Sour, it will delight fans of sweet and refined cocktails.

• 4 cl bourbon or rye whiskey
• 2 cl Amaretto (almond liqueur)
• 2.5 cl fresh lemon juice
• 1 cl cane sugar syrup
• 1 egg white (optional for a foamy texture)
• Ice cubes
• Garnish: lemon zest or slivered almonds

1. In a shaker, pour the whiskey, Amaretto, lemon juice, sugar syrup, and egg white (if used).
2. Shake without ice (dry shake) for 10 seconds to emulsify.
3. Add ice cubes and shake again for 10 seconds.
4. Strain into an old fashioned glass filled with ice or into a coupe if served without ice.
5. Garnish with lemon zest or a few slivered almonds.

- For a rounder version, replace sugar syrup with orgeat syrup.
- You can use aquafaba instead of egg white for a vegan version.
- This cocktail pairs well with fruit-based desserts or dried fruit desserts.
