Pisco Sour
This drink comes from South America. However, Peru and Chile claim the right to it. Peruvians say that the inventor of this cocktail was an American bartender Victor Morris who runs a popular elite place – Morri’s Bar. This bar is most associated with this cocktail. Pisco is an important Peruvian harbour where the Pisco brandy is being distilled (made from grapes), which is the main ingredient. It doesn’t change the fact that Pisco Sour is the national drink of both Chile and Peru.
Its taste is delicate, smooth, sweet and sour and has an unforgettable aroma. Nowadays, it’s well-known worldwide. What makes it different from other cocktails? Well… a raw egg is one of the ingredients. For some people it is unthinkable and they are not able to swallow it, but it’s worth to say that the mix of all ingredients creates an incredible effect. Many athletes and bodybuilders won’t have any difficulties in trying such a mixture. After all, some of them drink raw eggs like Sylvester Stallone in Rocky. How about you? Would you dare?
Ingredients:
- 40 ml Pisco brandy
- 1 egg white
- 15 ml lemon or lime juice
- 10 ml cane syrup
- 2-3 Angostura drops
- 5 ice cubes
Preparation:
Whip the egg. Next, mix it with ice cubes, cane syrup and freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice in a shaker. Shake it until you get a foam. Add Pisco and Angostura and shake it again.
Pour the mixture into an old-fashioned glass. You should get two layers: a liquid one and a foamy one. Decorate the cocktail with a slice of lemon or lime. Cheers! I think…
