A beautifully textured highball with extra fizz.

This rum and tonic variation adds the building blocks of a Silver Fizz and the balance of a rich amaro, resulting in a beautifully textured highball.

Ingredients

1 1/2 oz. light rum
3/4 oz. fresh lime juice
1/2 oz. Amaro Montenegro
1/2 oz. simple syrup (1:1)
1 fresh egg white
3 oz. chilled tonic water

Tools:shaker, strainer
Glass:Collins

Preparation

Add all of the ingredients except tonic water to a shaker with no ice. Shake to combine, then add ice and shake well until chilled and foamy. Add chilled tonic water to an empty Collins glass, then strain the cocktail into the tonic until the top of the drink is half an inch below the rim. Wait for the foam to completely settle, then finish straining the remainder of the cocktail.
