Questions about Pisco sour
How do you make a classic pisco sour?
Shake 60 ml pisco, 30 ml freshly squeezed lime juice, 20 ml sugar syrup and one egg white without ice for about 10 seconds. Add ice, shake hard for another 15 seconds, strain into a chilled glass and finish with a few drops of aromatic bitters.
Which pisco should you use for a pisco sour?
Choose an unaged, clear pisco labelled Quebranta for a dry, robust drink, or a more aromatic variety such as Italia for floral notes. Avoid heavily aged pisco, which can overwhelm the lime and egg-white foam.
Can you make pisco sours ahead of time?
They are best shaken and served straight away, while the foam is fresh. You can mix the pisco, lime juice and syrup in advance and chill them, but add the egg white and shake with ice just before serving.
What food goes well with a pisco sour?
Its sharp citrus and silky foam pair well with ceviche, grilled seafood and salty nibbles such as olives. Serve it as an aperitif rather than alongside a delicate dessert.
Can you make a pisco sour without egg white?
Yes. Leave it out for a thinner drink, or use aquafaba—the liquid from a tin of chickpeas—for a similar foam; start with about 20 ml and shake it first without ice. A cocktail foaming agent also works.
Is the egg in a pisco sour raw?
The classic recipe uses raw egg white, so use a fresh, clean egg or pasteurised egg white. If you would rather avoid raw egg, make it with aquafaba or leave the egg white out.
What is the difference between a pisco sour and a whiskey sour?
Both combine a spirit with citrus and sugar, and both may be made with egg white. A pisco sour uses pisco and is commonly finished with aromatic bitters; a whiskey sour uses whiskey and often has a warmer, oakier flavour.
