The Pisco Sour Cocktail is a drink with heritage—bold, citrusy, and topped with a velvety foam. Hailing from Peru and Chile, it’s become a cult favorite in Los Angeles among foodies, art lovers, and cocktail snobs who know quality when they taste it. It’s not just a drink—it’s a statement.
In LA, the Pisco Sour is how you impress guests who’ve seen it all.

How to Make a Pisco Sour – LA Edition
1. Dry shake all ingredients (no ice).
This emulsifies the egg white and builds that signature foam. The Pisco Sour Cocktail starts here.
- Add ice and shake again.
Shake hard for 20–30 seconds to chill and mix. - Double strain into a chilled coupe.
The texture should be smooth, the foam thick. - Garnish with 1–2 drops of bitters.
