I have this funny thing with raw eggs. I have absolutely no problem with eating them in cookie dough or cake batter (who doesn’t want to lick the chocolate cake beaters?!) but I draw the line in cocktails. That just seems a little too raw and risky for me. 

I know, I know, according to the CDC, the risk of salmonella is exactly the same so that’s why I bought pasteurized liquid egg whites for this recipe. I suggest you do the same, just to be safe. And you should probably buy pasteurized eggs if you want to eat cookie dough. No one wants salmonella. 

But everybody’s going to want one of these mocktails as soon as you turn the blender on! 

Amaretto Sour Mocktails

The average volume of one large egg white is 2 tablespoons or 30ml. You will need only one tablespoon to make two mocktails. This recipe is adapted from one I found in the BBC Good Food magazine along with some tips from bartender Jeffrey Morganthaler.

Ingredients - for 2 Amaretto Sour Mocktails
1/2 cup or 120ml pineapple juice
1/4 cup or 60ml fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon egg white
10ml syrup from a jar of maraschino cherries
1 tablespoon simple syrup
2-3 drops almond extract
1 small shake Angostura bitters

To garnish: 1 lemon slice and 2 maraschino cherries

Method
Use a sharp knife to cut one nice slice out of a lemon and then cut the slice in half. Juice the rest of the lemon. 

Using a sharp cocktail stick, pierce the lemon peel on one side, slide a cherry onto the stick and then pierce the other side of the lemon peel to create the garnish. 


Put all the drink ingredients into a blender and pulse until well combined, pale in color and fluffy on the top.

If your blender is powerful enough, add 5-6 ice cubes and pulse again to chill the mocktail. If not, put the concoction in a cocktail shaker with the ice and shake until chilled. 

Strain out the ice and divide the mocktail between two glasses and garnish them with the lemon-cherry cocktail sticks.
