Valparaiso Pisco Thyme

Description

Pisco brings a grapey perfume that the grape syrup extends into the middle of the sip. Lemon gives the sour its bite and thyme follows with a dry, leafy note. The herb works best as an echo after the fruit, which makes this an interesting next pour for a Pisco Sour drinker.

Ingredients

  • 50 ml Pisco
  • 20 ml Grape syrup
  • 25 ml lemon
  • 10 ml Thyme syrup
  • Ice

Equipment needed

Cocktail Shaker – Used to chill, dilute and integrate the cocktail before serving. Muddler – Useful for gently pressing herbs, fruit or sugar when building the drink. Fine Mesh Strainer – Use for a polished double-strain when citrus, fruit or herbs are shaken.

Instructions

  1. Add the liquid ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  2. Shake hard for 12 to 15 seconds until the drink is properly chilled.
