Which cocktail is served on the rocks with cubed ice, dry shake then shake & strain, containing aromatic bitters, foamer, amaretto, lemon juice, sugar syrup, and garnished with a lemon wedge and cherry?

• A. Whiskey Sour
• B. Manhattan
• C. Clover Club
• D. Amaretto Sour

Answer: (D)

Recognizing a sour cocktail built around amaretto, with lemon juice and sugar for balance, a dash of aromatic bitters for depth, and a foamer that requires a dry shake before the main shake and strain. Amaretto Sour uses amaretto as the base, pairs it with lemon juice and simple syrup for tart-sweet flavor, adds bitters for complexity, and relies on foam from egg white (the foamer) created by a dry shake, then shaken with ice and strained over cubed ice on the rocks. Garnished with a lemon wedge and a cherry, this matches all the described steps and ingredients. The other options don’t fit because they use different bases (like whiskey or gin), or omit the citrus/foaming combination, or change the serving style.
