This is a really sweet drink. The Amaretto itself is already sweet and you add extra sugar syrup. I thought this would be over the top, but in fact there is just the right amount of lemon juice to cut through this and prevent it becoming cloying.
As cocktails go, it is very mild in terms of alcohol strength, so a good choice for people who are not big drinkers and like sweet things.
Personally, I would still cut back on the sugar syrup. The egg white doesn't add any taste, but does help the texture.
Recipe
Fill a tumbler with crushed or preferably shaved ice. Add 1.5 measures of Amaretto to a shaker with 3/4 measure of lemon juice, 1/2 measure of sugar syrup, an egg white and 2 dashes of Angustora Bitters. Shake on Ice (some recipes call for shaking without ice). This needs to be vigorous to ensure the egg white in blended in with the other ingredients.
Strain into the tumbler over the shaved Ice and decorate with a Maraschino Cherry on a stick.
