A touch of Sweetened simple syrup rounds out the flavor, while the key to its signature elegance is the inclusion of egg white, which creates a luxurious, velvety Foamy head. A few drops of aromatic Bitters crown the foam, adding a fragrant flourish. This Emulsified beauty is Shaken vigorously and served without ice. It's a Cocktail that's as much a pleasure to look at as it is to sip! 2. Ingredients 60 ml Pisco 30 ml lemon juice 20 ml simple syrup 1 egg white Several drops of aromatic bitters at the end 3. Preparation Chill your glass (a classic coupe or Cocktail glass is perfect) beforehand. The drink will be Served without ice, so chilling is key! In a cocktail shaker, combine the Pisco, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and the egg white. Perform a "dry shake" first (that's Shaken without ice!) vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This step is crucial to Emulsified the egg white and build a strong, stable Foamy head. Now, add ice cubes to the shaker. Shake vigorously again for another 15-20 seconds until the shaker is frosty. This chills the drink and further develops the foam. Strain the mixture carefully into your chilled glass, ideally through a fine mesh strainer to ensure a smooth texture. Let the foam settle briefly. Add several drops of aromatic Bitters (like Angostura) onto the surface of the foam, often arranged in a decorative pattern. Serve immediately without ice. 4. Notes and Tips Using freshly squeezed lemon juice (Citrus, Juice) is non-negotiable for an authentic and balanced Pisco Sour. The dry shake followed by the shake with ice is essential for that characteristic thick, Foamy cap. Don't skip it! It creates that lovely Emulsified texture. If you're hesitant about using raw egg white, aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas) makes an excellent vegan alternative that also produces great foam. Commercial cocktail foamers are another option. The drops of Bitters on top aren't just for looks; they add wonderful aromatic complexity as you sip through the foam. Adjust the simple syrup slightly to match your preference for Sweetened level and the tartness of your Citrus. 5. History or Origin The Pisco Sour Cocktail has a spirited history, hotly debated between Peru and Chile, both claiming it as their national drink. The most commonly cited origin story credits Victor V. Morris, an American bartender who opened Morris' Bar in Lima, Peru, in 1916. He created the drink as a variation on a classic Sour, using the local Spirit, Pisco, and quickly found it was a hit. Regardless of its precise birthplace, it quickly became a beloved icon across South America and beyond, celebrated for its unique Pisco flavor and beautiful Foamy appearance, showcasing the power of Citrus and Sweetened balance. 6.
