Pisco Sour

Since we're on the subject of great pisco drinks, here the other classic involving this Peruvian and/or Chilean spirit.

2 ounces Pisco
3/4 ounces Lime Juice
3/4 ounces Simple Syrup
1 Whole Egg White
2 Dashes Angostura Bitters

Combine everything EXCEPT the bitters.  First dry shake or shake without ice (I know...it makes absolutely no sense calling it 'dry shake' when you really think about it...).  Then after a good 30 second shake to emulsify the egg white, add your ice and shake again for another 20 seconds.  Double strain int a cocktail coupe and now you can add your bitters on top.  If you're feeling real fancy, try to make a design!  Or do what all the real cool guys are doing now...but your angostura in an atomizer, and make a fancy stencil so you can have a sweet design ontop yo drink!  CHEERS!
