Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and equipment needed for the Pisco Sour. You will need a cocktail shaker, a jigger for measuring, and a strainer.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In the cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of Pisco, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz of simple syrup, and 1 egg white.

  3. 3

    Dry Shake

    Seal the shaker and shake vigorously without ice for about 15 seconds. This helps to emulsify the egg white and create a frothy texture.

  4. 4

    Shake with Ice

    Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the shaker. Seal again and shake vigorously for another 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

  5. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass or cocktail glass. The frothy head from the egg white should form a nice layer on top.

  6. 6

    Add Bitters

    Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters on top of the froth. You can use a toothpick to create a design if desired.

  7. 7

    Garnish

    Garnish with a lime wheel or twist on the rim of the glass for an elegant presentation.
