Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Pisco
- 1 oz Fresh lime juice
- 1 oz Simple syrup
- 1 unit Egg white
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters

Instructions
Chill a coupe or old-fashioned glass by placing it in the freezer or filling it with ice water for a few minutes.
In a cocktail shaker, combine Pisco, lime juice, simple syrup, and the egg white.
Dry shake (shake without ice) vigorously for 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create a frothy texture.
Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously again for 15 seconds to chill the mixture.
Strain the cocktail into the chilled glass using a fine mesh or hawthorn strainer to achieve a silky finish.
Top with 2 dashes of Angostura bitters to garnish. Optionally, use a toothpick to swirl the bitters decoratively into the foam.
Serve immediately and enjoy your authentic Peruvian Pisco Sour.
