Notes
Frequently asked questions
- Do you have to add an egg white to pisco sour? For the authentic silky mouth-feel, the egg is essential. You can leave it out if you wish, but your cocktail just won’t have that signature pisco sour texture. For a vegan-friendly option, replace the egg white with aquafaba instead.
- Where can I find pisco? Pisco is readily stocked in most liquor stores next to the brandy and cognac.
- How strong is pisco? Peruvian pisco usually has an alcohol content between 38 to 48%, comparable to the alcohol in hard liquors like vodka and whiskey.
- Is a pisco sour cocktail potent? It really depends on who’s making it! This recipe yields 2 drinks, each with 1 ½ ounce of pisco.
