Step 2. Add lemon juice and syrup

Add the Pisco brandy.
Step 4. Add egg whites
Add the egg whites, which give the Pisco sour its thick texture and velvety froth.
Step 5. Shake and strain
Shake vigorously for 15 seconds and strain into the chilled martini glass.
Step 6. Add bitters
Add a dash of bitters to complete the drink and serve immediately. For added embellishment, use a toothpick to create a unique design in the bitters.
Tip: If you don't have time to chill the glass in the refrigerator, fill it with ice and let it sit while you mix your ingredients.
Tip: Make simple syrup by simmering equal parts sugar and water until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let it cool, then transfer to a bottle or other container.
Warning: Raw egg carries a risk of salmonella infection. Use pasteurized egg whites to reduce your risk.
