Chilean Pisco Sour

Prep Time 10 min
Servings 2
Difficulty Easy

Chile's iconic cocktail of pisco brandy, fresh lime juice, sugar syrup, and egg white, shaken to a silky froth — the subject of a fierce rivalry with Peru.

Ingredients

  • 120ml Chilean pisco (preferably 35-40 degrees)
  • 60ml fresh lime juice
  • 40ml simple syrup
  • 1 egg white
  • Ice cubes
  • Angostura bitters for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine pisco, lime juice, simple syrup, and egg white in a cocktail shaker.
  2. 2 Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white.
  3. 3 Add ice and shake again for 20 seconds until very cold.
  4. 4 Double-strain into chilled coupe glasses.
  5. 5 Add 2-3 drops of Angostura bitters on the foam and draw a pattern with a toothpick.
  6. 6 Serve immediately.

Both Chile and Peru claim to have invented the pisco sour — the debate is so heated it has been called "the Pisco War" and has been discussed at diplomatic levels.
