Amaretto Foam

A supremely appetizing aperitif that asks for almost no bartending skill. Batch it before dinner, top each glass to order, and let the foam do the showing off. Makes enough foam for 3 small glasses.

What You Need

• Kitchen Whip Cream Whipper · ½ Pint
• BestWhip 8g N2O Chargers
• 3 small glasses, cocktail pick

Ingredients

• 6 oz amaretto
• 3 egg whites
• 3 teaspoons water
• 3 brandied Bing cherries

How to Make It

1. Chill the amaretto and pour into glasses.
2. Add the egg whites and water to your BestWhip and seal the head on tight.
3. Charge with one 8g N2O charger.
4. Shake well for 8 to 10 seconds.
5. Vent excess gas into the sink.
6. Top the amaretto with the egg white foam, dispensing against the inner rim of the glass. Add a cherry and serve.

Pro Tip

Try it au naturel first. If you want a stiffer foam that holds longer, a pinch of gelatin or xanthan gum in step 2 will do it.
