443 Bossa Nova, Pisco Sours And A Vist From John Dillermand
/Screwing takes a little longer than just popping it off. And, Starshine would rather screw it than pop it off. These are just two inebriated quotes from this episode of everyones favorite dimly lit tiki bar. Join Sunshine and Starshine for our first episode of 2021. Our theme this time is South America. Bossa Nova and Pisco Sours set the mood for some conversation about 2020 listener statistics, a new naughty kids show from Denmark, Sunshines favorite new bar toy and much more.
Make a Pisco Sour. A classic South American cocktail that is argued to be better in either Chile or Peru. We like the classic version and also enjoy a few twists now and then. Try using a passion fruit syrup instead of simple syrup for a nice change.
2 oz Pisco
1 oz Egg White
1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice (strain pulp)
.75 oz Simple Syrup
Dash of Angostura Bitters
Combine everything but bitters in a shaker with ice and shake very very well. Strain into a chilled coupe glass and top with Angostura Bitters. Extra points if you can make a letter or design with the bitters. Egg whites scare some people but using the pasteurized egg whites in the carton is a safe way to go. Though nothing beats a fresh egg white.
Over a year ago now Sunshine joined a kickstarter for THE NEW cocktail shaker of the future. Elevated Craft Cocktail Shaker is pretty darn nice. The size is just right. Stainless steel. Insulated with locking lid and cap, you can take it anywhere with the drink already inside. Drinks stay cold for up to 24 hours! This is your to go mixed drink for two to four people. Now that we have used it a few times we LOVE that the lid has up to 6oz of measuring rings in the inside. Its wonderful to get one less thing from the bar, ditch that measuring device.
Just watch the children show below from our friends in Denmark. We go into some fun detail about the already off air program on this episode. Again, just watch it. You won’t be sorry. But you may wonder why it was meant for kids.
