Anni’s Christmas sour is simple, fast to make, and feels thoughtful without requiring perfection or preparation. Soft, tangy, and just the right amount of festive — a Christmas cocktail that feels like a celebration from the very first sip. Perfect for kicking off the holiday season, hosting a Christmas get-together, waiting for Christmas Eve to begin, or simply adding a little extra magic to the table.

For two Christmas sours, you’ll need:
4 cl amaretto
2 cl gin
2 cl grenadine syrup
4 cl lemon juice
2 organic egg whites

  • a shaker of your choice

Shake, shake, shake, strain over ice into a glass, top with foam, and garnish with cherries.
