Method

How to make Peruvian Elder Sour

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Pre-chill a clear coupe and cut exactly one small thin lime wedge for the finished drink.

  2. 02

    Measure the pisco, elderflower liqueur, and freshly squeezed lime juice into a shaker.

  3. 03

    Add the optional chilled water only when using unusually dry ice, then fill the shaker about three-quarters full with solid cold ice.

  4. 04

    Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the floral sour is very cold, lightly aerated, and properly diluted.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled coupe so no citrus pulp or ice chips enter the drink.

  6. 06

    Place exactly one restrained lime wedge at the rim and serve without egg-white foam or any extra garnish.
