Pisco Sour Cocktail

This iconic Peruvian brandy drink is so incredible that is has actually inspired a few “Pisco Sour” bars to open up in selected cities across the United States.
The recipe below is for two, strong cocktails.

Ingredients

  • 6oz pisco or South American Brandy
  • Juice from 2 limes
  • 1.5oz simple syrup
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • ½ tsp Angostura bitters

Instructions

  • Combine the pisco, lime juice, simple syrup, and egg whites in a shaker without any ice.
  • Shake hard for 30-60 seconds, or until the egg whites are foamy.
  • Add ice to shaker and shake hard for another ten seconds, or until ingredients are sufficiently chilled.
  • Strain the chilled mixture from your shaker into chilled martini glasses, or any cocktail glass you have on hand.
  • Top with a few drops of Angostura bitters on top of each glass.

Notes

For simple syrup, combine 1 part sugar with 1 part water and heat until warm, stirring until the sugar has dissolved completely.  Cool and store for later use.  
This brandy cocktail is consistently refreshing and absolutely amazing.
