Pisco Sour
Peru's egg-white opus
Pisco, lime, and sugar shaken hard with egg white produce a silky foam cap over a tart, grapey sour. The bitters drops on top are art and aroma in one. (The IBA spec calls for lemon; we keep the Peruvian lime tradition.)
Ingredients
- 2 oz Pisco
- 1 oz Fresh Lime Juice
- 2/3 oz Simple Syrup
- 1 Egg White
- 3 dashes Angostura Bitters
Method
Dry shake all ingredients (without ice) vigorously. Add ice and shake again. Strain into a chilled coupe. Drop Angostura bitters onto the foam and draw a pattern with a toothpick.
