Steps:
- Combine amaretto, lemon juice, orange juice, and simple syrup in jar. Secure lid and shake to combine. Freeze until ice-cold but not solid, at least 2 hours and up to 5 hours.
- Transfer cocktail to a blender and add 2 cups ice. Purée on high speed until thick and smooth. (On a hot day, you may need to blend in a few more ice cubes to thicken, but keep in mind that the more you add, the more diluted the drink will be.)
- Divide cocktail between 2 chilled rocks glasses. Gradually pour ¼ oz. Fernet-Branca over the back of a spoon into each drink if desired. Garnish each with a brandied cherry and paper umbrella.
AMARETTO SOUR
Jeffrey Morgenthaler, the bar manager of Pépé Le Moko and Clyde Common in Portland, Ore., enjoyed amaretto sours as a young man. As a bartender, he embarked on a project to make a better version of this often-mocked drink, which was typically composed of just amaretto and sour mix. He boosted the alcoholic strength by mixing in nearly a full ounce of overproof bourbon, replaced the sour mix with real lemon juice and added an egg white - a common ingredient in many sour recipes from the past. Given all the alterations, he might have given the cocktail a new name, but decided against that. "There wouldn't have been any point," he said. "There's a big difference between if I took this drink and made it good, and if I invented a new drink with amaretto. The latter wouldn't have the same gravitas."
