pisco sour

This drink is frequently made with lemons or limes. I prefer limes here. If you’re nervous about using raw egg white, you can always go with pasteurized eggs. The texture here is light and frothy and foamy, a bit like meringue. Some people make this with 3 ounces of pisco, but I think that’s too much. I’ve opted for 2 ounces here, which makes a balance I prefer, but you can do what you like. I’ve always made this with Angostura bitters, because I always have those on hand, but Amargo Chuncho bitters are more traditional. You could also go with your favorite variety of aromatic bitters if you’re the kind of person who has a favorite variety of aromatic bitters.

Combine all of the ingredients except for the bitters in a cocktail shaker. Shake for about 20 seconds until frothy. Add ice and shake for another 20 seconds until thoroughly chilled. Strain into a chilled glass. Drop four drops of bitters around the top with an eye dropper and drag a toothpick through the center of each drop to create a swoosh. (Or just add a few dashes of bitters to the top of the drink and call it good.)

The Pisco sour is one of the great classic cocktails! The magic meld of pisco and lime in this Peruvian drink gives it a flavor that's like none other.

Perfect Pisco Sour

(2 tablespoons) lime juice

(1 tablespoon) simple syrup

Add the ice to the cocktail shaker. Shake again for 30 seconds.

Strain the drink into a cocktail glass; the foam will collect at the top. Garnish with bitters on the foam.

Although the preparation of pisco-based mixed beverages possibly dates back to the 1700s, historians and drink experts agree that the cocktail as it is known today was invented in the early 1920s in Lima, the capital of Peru, by the American bartender Victor Vaughen Morris. ~ Wikipedia
