TRADITIONAL PISCO SOUR (PERUVIAN COCKTAIL)



Traditional Pisco Sour (Peruvian Cocktail) image

My first taste of this wonder (and potent) National Drink of Peru was at meeting of the Peruvian Congress of Cardiology. At the banquet that terminated the convention, I was introduced to the Peruvian National Drink - the "Pisco Sour." This drink was so delicious, I had to have the recipe and was given the original recipe by my friend, Waldo Fernandez who had obtained it from the vineyard at Tabernero.

PISCO SOUR



Pisco Sour image

The pisco sour is sweet-tart, richly textured and crowned with a fluffy white top. The origins of the drink, a blend of pisco (a South American brandy), citrus, sugar and egg white, come with some debate as to whether it originated in Chile or Peru. But it is most commonly said to have been created in the early 20th century by Victor Morris, an American expatriate in Peru. While this recipe calls for using exclusively lime juice, a combination of fresh lime and lemon juice (1/2 ounce lemon, 1/2 ounce lime) works as well. Just don't skip the aromatic bitters, added as a final garnish and often in a decorative pattern: They contribute to the drink's final aesthetic and aroma.

Time 10m

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup granulated or turbinado sugar
2 ounces pisco
1 ounce fresh lime juice
1 egg white
3/4 ounce 2-to-1 simple syrup
Ice
3 to 4 dashes Angostura bitters

Steps:

  • Prepare the simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine sugar with 1/4 cup water. Heat over low, stirring frequently, just until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Refrigerate if not using immediately. (Remaining syrup will keep in the fridge for up to 1 month.)
  • In a cocktail shaker, combine the pisco, lime juice, egg white and 3/4 ounce simple syrup. Cover and shake vigorously for 10 seconds. Add ice to the shaker, cover again and shake vigorously until chilled, about 10 to 15 seconds more. Double-strain into a chilled coupe or Nick and Nora glass. Garnish with bitters.

Tips:

  • Use fresh limes: Freshly squeezed lime juice is essential for a well-balanced Pisco Sour. Bottle lime juice often contains preservatives and additives that can alter the flavor of the cocktail.
  • Choose a good quality Pisco: Pisco is the key ingredient in a Pisco Sour, so it's important to choose a good quality one. Look for a Pisco that is made from 100% Peruvian grapes and has a smooth, flavorful taste.
  • Use simple syrup: Simple syrup is a mixture of equal parts sugar and water that is used to sweeten cocktails. It's easy to make at home and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • Shake the cocktail vigorously: Shaking the cocktail vigorously helps to aerate it and create a foamy top. This is a signature characteristic of a Pisco Sour.
  • Serve the cocktail immediately: Pisco Sours are best served immediately after they are made. The ice will melt over time, diluting the cocktail and altering its flavor.
  • Conclusion:

    The Pisco Sour is a classic cocktail that is both refreshing and flavorful. It's a perfect drink to enjoy on a hot day or to serve at a party. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, the Pisco Sour is a cocktail that anyone can make at home.
