Method
Preparation
Chill glass
Place a coupe or rocks glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes, or fill with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill it.
Express aromatics
Take the kaffir lime leaf and gently clap it between your palms to release oils. Set aside for garnish.
Mixing
Add the pisco, kaffir lime cordial, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup (if using) into a cocktail shaker.
Add a generous handful of ice to the shaker and shake hard for 12–15 seconds to properly chill and dilute the drink.
If you performed a dry shake, double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or a rocks glass filled with crushed ice. If you didn't use egg white, strain over crushed ice as well.
Garnish & Serve
Float the clapped kaffir lime leaf on top of the drink or rest it on the rim. Add a lime wheel or wedge on the rim for visual appeal.
Serve immediately. Encourage the drinker to smell the kaffir leaf before sipping to enjoy the bright citrus-aromatic contrast with the pisco.
