Why we love this passion fruit pisco sour
As a spirit pisco is new to me. I’d been wanting to try it for a while, but I finally grabbed a bottle and made a traditional pisco sour. This cocktail is a classic for a reason – it’s delicious and perfectly balanced.
But, since we had leftover passion fruit syrup from the Saturn cocktail we made last week, I decided to swap the classic simple syrup in the pisco sour.
To account for the added sour that the passion fruit adds, I flipped the sweet and sour ratio, and it worked perfect to re-balance the drink. With the added egg white, it’s a luxurious cocktail with a fresh and tangy twist.

- Pisco – Pisco is a clear brandy made from distilled fermented grape juice. This unique brandy is sometimes said to taste similar to a tequila and hails from both Peru and Chile. It’s flavor is floral, fruity, earthy and slightly sweet.
- Passion fruit syrup – Try making your own passion fruit syrup, or feel free to use store bought.
- Lemon juice – Fresh squeezed is best
- Egg white – I use fresh eggs, but you can always buy pasteurized if you’re more comfortable with that.
- Angostura bitters – Bitters are a traditional garnish on a pisco sour, and I think they work really well with the passion fruit.
How to make a pisco sour with
