Tasting Notes

This Blueberry Thyme Pisco Sour drink hits both fruity and herbal notes in a smooth, balanced way. The pisco gives a light grape base, while the lemon juice adds brightness. The blueberry thyme syrup brings in a rich, slightly sweet and earthy flavor. The egg white adds body and a silky texture, making each sip smooth and foamy. You’ll notice the thyme in the aroma first, followed by blueberry and citrus. It’s refreshing and unique, with a little tartness and a soft herbal finish.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a shaker, a strainer, a jigger, and a coupe or rocks glass. Use a dry shake technique shake once without ice, then again with ice to get that creamy foam from the egg white. A fine mesh strainer helps catch ice shards for a smoother texture. A coupe glass adds a nice presentation for the foamy top, but a chilled rocks glass works too.
