Pisco Sour Recipe

 

Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 4 oz (120ml) Pisco (Peruvian brandy)

• 1 ½ oz (45ml) fresh lime juice

• 1 oz (30ml) simple syrup

• 1 egg white

• Ice cubes

• Ground cinnamon (for garnish)

• A small lemon slice (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Chill the Glass: Place a cocktail glass in the freezer for a few minutes.

2. Shake the Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, add Pisco, lime juice, simple syrup, egg white, and a handful of ice cubes.

3. Dry Shake (No Ice): First, shake without ice for 15 seconds to create a rich foam.

4. Shake Again (With Ice): Add ice and shake vigorously for another 15 seconds.

5. Strain & Serve: Strain into the chilled cocktail glass.

6. Create the Cinnamon Lettering:

   • Sprinkle a thin layer of ground cinnamon over a stencil that reads "PISCO PERU" (you can cut a stencil out of paper).

   • Carefully remove the stencil to reveal the letters on the white foam.

7. Garnish: Place a small lemon slice on the rim and lightly dust some cinnamon over the drink.

Styling the Scene for a Festive Look

📍 Positioning:

• The cocktail glass and clear Pisco bottle should be on the right side.

• A large vintage "2025" sign should be prominently displayed at the top for a celebratory feel.

🌌 Background Details:

• Swirling silk props for an elegant, dreamy effect.

• Glowing stars scattered softly around the scene to add a magical touch.

🍋 Additional Elements:

• Fresh lemons placed casually in the background for a vibrant pop of color.

• The Pisco bottle should be clear glass, slightly blurred, with soft lighting to make it look premium.
