Peruvian Pisco Sour
Discover the vibrant and frothy charm of the classic Peruvian Pisco Sour, a cocktail that marries bold citrus notes with velvety smoothness. Crafted with Peruvian pisco, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and an egg white for that iconic silky foam, this drink is a staple of South American mixology. A double shake technique—first without ice, then with—ensures a perfectly emulsified and chilled beverage, while a couple of dashes of aromatic Angostura bitters add the finishing touch of elegance.
