Pisco Sour Cocktail Recipe
Pisco Sour is one of my favorite cocktails! It's a refreshing drink with a blend of Pisco, citrus, and a touch of sweetness. Making it is easy if you've got the right tools and ingredients. Let's dive into how you can create this delicious cocktail.
Equipment
- First, grab a cocktail shaker. It's the best way to mix all the flavors.
- You’ll also need a jigger to measure your ingredients accurately.
- A strainer is useful to pour the drink without ice or pulp.
- Using a microplane or grater for garnishing is a plus, especially for zesting lime or lemon.
- Lastly, grab a glass to serve your tasty creation.
Ingredients
Here's what you'll need to make a Pisco Sour:
- 2 oz Pisco
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 3/4 oz simple syrup
- 1 egg white
- A few drops of Angostura bitters for garnish optional
Make sure you have fresh ingredients, especially the lime juice for the best flavor. You can adjust the sweetness by changing the amount of simple syrup. Having all these ingredients ready makes the process smooth and fun! 🍹
Instructions
- Start by adding the Pisco, lime juice, egg white, and simple syrup to your cocktail shaker.
- Shake them well without ice first (a technique called “dry shaking”) to mix the egg white properly.
- Next, add ice and shake again until the mixture is well-chilled. Strain the mix into a glass.
- To finish, add a few drops of Angostura bitters on top of the froth. This adds a bit of color and flavor.
Now your Pisco Sour is ready to enjoy. Cheers!
Notes
Some people skip the egg white, but it’s what gives the Pisco Sour its signature frothy top. 🍋 You can experiment with different citrus juices like lemon for a twist. Feel free to adjust the simple syrup to your taste, making it sweeter or more tart as you like.
