The Pisco Sour is such a classic, and I’m always pleased with its simplicity. Plus, when you nail the bitters decoration it makes you feel really fancy! Here’s my go to recipe, which I originally got from Speakeasy. I subbed aquafaba for the egg white and skipped the nutmeg.
- 2 oz Barsol Pisco Quebranta brandy
- ¾ oz lime juice
- ¾ oz simple syrup
- 1 egg white
- 4 drops Angostura bitters
- grated nutmeg
Pour the brandy, juice, syrup, and egg white into a mixing glass. Shake very hard without ice for a few seconds. Add ice and shake vigorously for up to 30 seconds. Strain into a coupe. Decorate by carefully adding 4 drops of bitters and dragging a toothpick in a circle through them.
Pisco is in the brandy family, but a bit lighter. Hopefully that helps!
I made it for an after dinner drink at Christmas and it was a big hit along with my eggnog.
Awesome! So glad to hear it 🙌
