Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add the pisco, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and the egg white.

  2. 2

    Dry Shake

    Shake the mixture vigorously without ice for about 10-15 seconds. This helps to emulsify the egg white and create a frothy texture.

  3. 3

    Shake with Ice

    Add ice to the shaker and shake again for another 10-15 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain

    Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass using a fine mesh strainer to catch any ice shards.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters on top of the frothy layer for garnish.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately and enjoy your Pisco Sour!
