Vesuvio is a rum and vermouth sour with egg white foam. The lemon belongs in the liquid structure, not as a garnish.
Shake light rum, sweet vermouth, lemon juice, powdered sugar, and egg white without ice, then shake again with ice. Strain into an old fashioned glass over fresh ice and serve without garnish.
Serve in an old fashioned glass over ice with a light foam and no garnish.
Pair it with seafood, fried chicken, lemon desserts, roast pork, or salty snacks.
This is a vintage-style sour using egg white for texture and vermouth for aromatic depth.
Best for sour service and guests who enjoy foamy classic-style drinks.
Light rum gives sugarcane, sweet vermouth adds wine and herbs, lemon juice sharpens, sugar balances, and egg white creates foam.
Foamy, tart, aromatic, and old-school.
Serve up in a coupe glass for a cleaner sour presentation.
