Perfect, even without egg, as has been suggested.I used a muscat grape pisco from Chile.

With so little lime juice, I would not think this sour enough to need an egg white.
But I did add a splash of pimento dram to add to the mysterious funkiness of the pisco.

strong - book says 60ml online 50 ml pisco - floral and sharpish - will try with the egg white next time

Love this. Definitely needs the egg white (or aquafaba if you’re that way inclined) to smooth it all together. I had a play with this as I’ve recently got some Rhubarb Liqueur, and replaced the Elderflower with it. It works so so well. Nice and tart, a good sour kick.

Definitely benefits from an egg white, which doubles as a diluting agent here

A nicely balanced Pisco cocktail. The lime balances out the sweetness of the St-Germain. A definite repeat.

This is excellent. Used BarSol Quebranta Pisco and the balance as perfect. A slight hint of sweetness which is balanced out by the lime. It had an aftertaste of grapefruit. Perfect afternoon cocktail. On to my favourties.
