Meridian Sour

AI-generatedMediumCoupe

Bright as noon sun over the tropics, this frothy citrus-and-rum sour hums with almond warmth and barely-there spice.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 oz White rum
  • 1/2 oz Cointreau
  • 3/4 oz Lime juice
  • 1/2 oz Lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz Orgeat
  • 1 dash Angostura bitters

Method

  1. 11. Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker without ice and dry-shake vigorously for 10 seconds to build froth.
  2. 22. Add a generous scoop of ice and shake hard for a further 15 seconds.
  3. 33. Double-strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a chilled coupe to achieve a silky, foam-topped surface.
  4. 44. Add a single dash of Angostura bitters to the foam and draw a toothpick through it to create a feather pattern.
  5. 55. Serve immediately before the foam settles.

PRO TIP

The dry-shake step is critical — shaking without ice first emulsifies the citrus oils and orgeat into a stable, creamy foam before dilution begins.

Garnish — Angostura bitters feather pattern on foam
