Ingredients

  • 8 liquid ounces 1 cup of cranberry juice
  • 4 liquid ounces 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 8 liquid ounces 1 cup of pisco, you can adjust the amount based on your preference
  • 2 to 4 liquid ounces of cranberry simple syrup adjust to taste – see recipe below
  • 1 egg white ~2 ounces – you can use pasteurized egg whites or meringue powder mixed with water. For a vegan alternative you can use aquafaba.
  • Ice cubes I used ~1 cup
To serve:
  • A couple of drops of bitters Angostura or your choice of bitters per drink
  • Sugared cranberries – see recipe below

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the cranberry juice juice, lime juice, pisco, cranberry simple syrup, egg white, and a few ice cubes in a blender. Blend until the drink is foamy.
  2. To make the pisco sour cocktails in a cocktail shaker, combine all the ingredients listed above in a shaker, shake well, and strain before serving. If using a shaker it might be necessary to make 2 drinks at a time.
  3. Pour into serving glasses, add a couple of drops of bitters, garnish with sugared cranberries, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can replace the pisco with whiskey for a cranberry whiskey sour.
  • If you don't have time (or extra cranberries) to make the cranberry simple syrup, just use regular simple syrup.
  • Also, if you can’t find pisco you can use another grape brandy or Italian grappa.
  • For a mocktail or non-alcoholic version replace the pisco with your choice of zero-proof alternatives or good old sparkling water.
