“A common story that I’ve been told by locals is that the #recipe is held by only five individuals at any time – one of whom is always the English #monarch – and that all five must agree to when #Bitters are made, thereby limiting over-production. Another story is that each of the five only have a portion of the recipe and that they must come together in order to produce Bitters, and that ingredients for #AngosturaBitters arrive in #Trinidad in unmarked containers, loaded onto unmarked trucks bound for the plant.” — Ramin Ganeshram

After years of thinking about it I finally bit the bullet and bought a bottle of Pisco. So here’s a new-to-me cocktail.

Pisco Sour

2 oz/ 60 ml Pisco (Caravedo Mosto Verde used)
1 oz/30 ml fresh lime juice
1/2 oz/15 ml rich simple syrup
1 egg white
Angostura bitters

Combine Pisco, lime juice, syrup, and egg white in shaker without ice. Dry shake for 20-ish seconds. Add ice, shake again for 20-ish seconds. Double strain into chilled coupe. Garnish with 3 drops of Angostura bitters.
