Pisco sour

The Sunday Challenge (TSC): beverage/s, drink/s

A glass of Pisco sour in front of yellow-green curtains, edited in Lightroom and tweaked with Color Efex Pro (Inset photo shows the ingredients used)

Pisco sour is the most popular cocktail in Chile and Peru- as to who "owns" it there have always been discussions and lawsuits. It is made of Pisco (a brandy distilled from grapes), lemon or lime, sugar syrup, ice and fresh egg white. The latter is sometimes omitted as I did here (not trusting fresh eggs in the current heat), though without egg white you don't get the lovely froth. Sometimes Pisco sour is topped by a dash of Angostura ar a sprinkling of cinnamon.

Recipes vary from 3 parts Pisco with 1 part lemon/ 1 part sugar to 1 part of everything, depending on how strong the Pisco is. Peruvian is said to be milder than Chilean which packs quite a punch;-)

Thanks a lot, Lian! A nice coincidence that the curtains and the drink had the same colour;-)

Thanks a lot, Sami! It is very refreshing and tastes very good but you should never drink it on an empty stomach and never more than two or three....

Cheers Gudrun. Sieht lecker aus und erinnert mich sehr stark an Limoncino. das "Nationalgetränk" vom Limone sul Garda. Wird dort an allen Ecken verkauft:

Schönen Sonntag.

Gudrun ^club has replied to ©UdoSm

Vielen Dank, Udo! Von der Farbe passt's! Allerdings ist Limoncino ein Likör, und das hier ein Muskatellerbrand mit Zitronensaft, der dir das Gestell weghauen kann;-)

Danke vielmals, Lutz! Das Zeug schmeckt auch verdammt lecker- frag mal Erhard, der kennt das auch;-) Bekommst du in Chile oft als Begrüßungsdrink im Hotel- nur schlecht, wenn man da einen leeren Magen hat, da findest du nachher dein Zimmer nicht mehr...

Das ist suuuuper, klasse Bearbeitung!

Sieht ja "erfrischend" aus, aber mit Zucker drin - der "knallt" in der Birne! ;-DD

Gudrun ^club has replied to Dida From Augsburg ^club

Tausend Dank, Dida! Oh ja, der knallt- und man merkt es erst hinterher-lol Ein Mitreisender hat mal 5 oder 6 davon niedergemacht- am nächsten Tag mussten wir ständig anhalten, weil der immer wieder grün im Gesicht wurde;-)

Josiane Dirickx ^club

Bonne idée pour le fond ! cela a l'air très rafraîchissant comme boisson on y gouterait bien volontiers ! ( un fond noir aurait peut-être convenu aussi mais aussi probablement trop dur ! )

Gudrun ^club has replied to Josiane Dirickx ^club

Merci, Josiane! It tastes refreshingly cold and sour:-) I tried out several backgrounds but found the dark one a bit harsh.

i LOVE your main shot.. its so soft and beautiful.. high key like this is one of my favourite kinds of photography
don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the notes one either.

10.1 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Shuttering Yukon

Thanks a lot, Wendi! The citrus colours cried out for that sort of editing. I tried out a darker background but it looked awful... The note is just an illustration what went into the drink. It's something I use a lot for photos I wouldn't want to post on their own but which help to show context.
