Marionetto

Marionetto is named for Marion Grasby. When we sent this recipe to Marion her response was, “I love this!” To which our response was, “OMG. I can’t believe it. She likes our recipe!”

We’re big fans of Marion’s joyous enthusiasm for sharing tastes that range from comforting to invigorating. We love her welcoming, easy communication style, too. And now, Marion is a brand new mum to baby girl, Charlie. We’re so excited for her we need to celebrate!

Caused by my own disinclination to make it properly, this is our preferred version of an Amaretto Sour, which features a frothy head. Traditionally, the foamy top is formed by egg white. Being lazy, I don’t want to separate eggs each time I serve this. Being finicky, I don’t like the idea of drinking raw egg white. Pineapple juice gives us the froth we need.

Liquid ingredients in Amaretto Sour recipes vary. They can be any combination of amaretto with or without bourbon plus sour mix, sugar syrup and/or lemon juice. However, the Amaretto Sour recipe we first tried was our Instagram friend’s cocktail_curiosity and we thank him for the inspiration.

We reckon we’ve simplified the recipe without losing the heady incense of fruit and almond. Because we’ve added one ingredient and removed two or three ingredients, we feel Marionetto is a new fluffy, recipe to serve to your favourite friends.
