Pisco Sour

Pisco Sour

Makes 2 cocktails

Peru's national drink: pisco, lime, and sugar whipped with egg white to a cloud, finished with bitters.

Ingredients

• 2 ½ oz Pisco brandy, chilled (I used Mosto Verde)
• 1 oz lime juice, chilled
• 1 oz simple syrup, chilled (essentially 1 cup water + 1 cup sugar heated until sugar melts into the water)
• 1 large egg white
• 1 drop Angostura bitters

Method

1. Place the Pisco brandy in the freezer for at least 2 hours to chill.
2. Place the lime juice and simple sugar in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to chill.
3. Combine the Pisco, lime juice, simple syrup and egg whites into the deep cup that comes with a hand blender. Blend on high for 15 seconds.
4. Pour into glasses, spooning the fluffy egg whites on top of each glass.
5. Finish with a drop of Angostura bitters, or use up to 3 drops according to preference. Drag the point of a knife through the drops to create a swirl. Serve cold with a slice of lime or key lime, if available.
