Pisco Sour

The Pisco Sour is the pride of Peru, a frothy, citrus-driven classic that balances the floral, grape-forward character of pisco with bright lemon and a silky egg white foam.

Method
  1. 1

    Add the pisco, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker without ice and dry shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds to emulsify the egg white.

  2. 2

    Add ice and shake again hard for a further 10–15 seconds until well chilled.

  3. 3

    Double strain into a chilled goblet glass.

  4. 4

    Dash Amargo bitters over the surface of the foam as an aromatic garnish.

From the Bartender

Always dry shake first - shaking without ice before adding ice dramatically improves the volume and stability of the egg white foam, giving you that signature thick, marshmallow-like head that defines a great Pisco Sour.
