Bartender Journey - Cocktails. Spirits. Bartending Culture. Libations For Your Ears.

On Bartender Journey Podcast # 138 we learn all about the South American made Spirit Pisco, mix up some Pisco Sour Cocktails, and talk about using Egg Whites in Cocktails.Listen with the player on below, on bartenderjourney.net or subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher Radio. ·      Pisco is the native spirit of Peru and Chile.  It is made from grapes, so can be considered a Brandy.  It is usually, but not always, a clear (un-aged) spirit. ·      We will learn all about it with Kappa Pisco Brand Ambasador Anne-Louise Marquis.  We spoke to Anne-Louise in episode #121 about Grand Marnier. ·      Cocktail of the week is Pisco sour.  I followed the recipe on kappapisco.com: o  2 oz Kappa Pisco o  1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice, (I used 1 1/4 oz) o  1 oz Simple Syrup, (I used 3/4 oz) o  1 Egg White o  Shake vigorously with ice o  Strain into a chilled coup glass (or they suggest a champagne flute). o  Top with a few drops of Angostura bitters for decoration (and taste).
