SCORCHED AMARETTO AND FIG SOUR

- 60ML AMARETTO - 30ML LEMON JUICE - 20ML SUGAR SYRUP - 1 TEASPOON QUALITY FIG JAM - 30ML EGG WHITE - ANGOSTURA BITTERS

Put the ingredients into a shaker and dry shake (that is, shaking with no ice, it will emulsify and aerate the cocktail). Then add ice and shake well to dilute the drink and break down the fig jam. Strain well and pour into a Martini glass. Add three drops of bitters and, using a skewer, swirl on the surface of the cocktail. Or, for extra flair, skip the bitters at this stage and scorch the top by half-filling a small spray bottle with equal parts bitters and an over-proof rum. Pump and spray it through a naked flame so it ignites and scorches the surface of the cocktail, for about 10 seconds.
