Ingredients

  • 3 ounces pisco
  • 1 ounce fresh lime juice
  • 0.75 ounce simple syrup
  • 1 egg white
  • A few dashes of Angostura bitters for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the Pisco, lime juice, simple syrup, and egg white.
  2. Shake all the ingredients vigorously without ice to help emulsify the egg white and create a frothy texture.
  3. Add a few cubes of ice to the shaker and shake vigorously once more to chill the drink.
  4. Strain the mixture into a chilled glass and garnish with a few dashes of Angostura bitters.

Notes

  • Always choose high-quality Pisco. It represents a majority of your cocktail so you won't want to cut corners and accept an inferior substitute, which will undoubtedly affect the cocktail's distinctive flavor... for the worse.
  • I can't stress this enough: freshly squeezed lime juice for the win. Avoid the bottled stuff if at all possible. The fresh juice brings a vibrant tanginess that's unbeatable.
  • The froth is an essential element of this cocktail so don't cut your shaking short. First, emulsify your ingredients by shaking without ice. Then, chill your drink by adding in the ice and shaking again. Yes, shake twice in order to get that signature texture and frothiness.
  • Yes, the simple syrup is simple but it is also sneaky. It's high in sugar and even a few extra drops can ruin the drink and spell disaster for your diet. So add the syrup cautiously.
  • Don't forget the 'bitter' end! Angostura bitters, that is. It puts the 'sour' in a Pisco Sour and beautifully balances the sweetness of the cocktail.
