Firecracker Cherry Sour Cocktail
Deep ruby, tart and rich. Lyubomiroff Cherry Liqueur shaken with fresh lemon, bourbon, and egg white into a serious, beautifully foamy sour. The most complex drink in the collection.
Ingredients
- 2 oz Cherry Liqueur
- 0.75 oz Lemon juice
- 0.5 oz Bourbon
- 0.25 oz Simple syrup
- 1 Egg white
- Brandied cherry and lemon peel strip for garnish
- Ice Cubes
Instructions
- Combine Lyubomiroff Cherry Liqueur, fresh lemon juice, bourbon, simple syrup (if using), and egg white in a shaker without ice. (Without egg white: shake all ingredients with ice and double strain.)
- Shake hard for 15 seconds to emulsify.
- Add ice and shake again for 10 seconds.
- Double strain through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled coupe — the foam will rise on top.
- Garnish with a brandied cherry and a short strip of lemon peel expressed over the foam and dropped alongside the cherry.
