National Pisco Sour Day | Pisco Sour Cocktail

Welp, it’s not only National Heavenly Hash Day, but it’s National Pisco Sour Day, too. I have to admit- I was way more excited for the heavenly hash cookies than this cocktail. Pisco, in case you don’t know like me, is a grape brandy and it’s pretty tasty!

I went to buy some at Total Wine, but it’s pretty expensive for a bottle. Thankfully, I found a friend who has the liquor so I borrowed some. 😉

When I was making this cocktail, Mike wanted to help and he said he would separate the yolk from the white for me. Then, he cracked the whole egg into the cup! I thought I would either need to grab the yolk with my hand, or use another egg and go through the normal separation of white from yolk.

Instead, he surprised me with this move:

Have any of you seen this separation method? Very cool!

Note: Instead of nutmeg, bitters are usually dashed on the top of this cocktail, but I didn’t have any bitters either, hehehe.

Seriously between the baked Alaska, the heavenly hash, the peking duck…and NOW THIS…I’m learning so much about food and booze recipes that I didn’t know existed.

Can you tell me how this thing tastes?! With an egg white in there I’m a little leery! haha

OMG the Pisco Sour! There is much contention surrounding this drink and its origins. Both Peruvians and Chileans claim that the drink originated in their country and that their Pisco is superior. I think history rests on the side of the Peruvians, however, much like true Champagne can only come from the Champagne region of France. Anyway, I drank tons of Pisco (and Pisco sours) when I lived in Santiago. Delicious!

Seems interesting! I never thought egg and liquor would go together. The bottle/egg trick is super cool. Kudos to Mike the super genius. 🙂
