Guess I'm making an Aperol sour this evening. That Amaretto sour recipe is also very good with Frangelico subbed for the Amaretto.

Best pisco sour I've had was in Lima,Peru. Made with Pisco infused in coca leaves.

We've been REALLY into sour cocktails recently, so the timing of this video is perfect. I haven't done an Aperol or Midori sour, but I know what's on my to try list now. Thanks!

Whiskey Sour's are my favorite. Love the videos as always, Steve. Would love them even more in the new studio!!

A lesser-known Pisco cocktail that I enjoy is the Cuzco Fizz from Beachbum Berry: - 5 green grapes - 3/4 oz lime juice - 2 oz Pisco - 1 oz St-Germain Muddle the grapes. Shake with ice and strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice and top with about 1/2 oz of club soda.

dude that smile is magical. I want you in my party making cocktails and throwing that smile to my friends :D

Hey Steve! Great vid as always Pisco sour might be the national drink of Perú but Chilcano is the most popular because is so easy to make. It's built in a highball glass, lots of ice, 1 1/2 or 2oz of pisco (depending on how strong you want it), 1/2 of lime and fill with ginger ale. The great thing about this drink it's that you can add everything that comes to mind and it will probably pair well: passion fruit, mango, strawberrys, lemongrass, you name it. Hope you make it one day :)

An overhead camera would have been nice. When you filmed the Aperol sour we didn't get to see the drops of Pechaud's bitters on top and a quick glimpse of it would be nice. Cant wait for the *KAT CAM* either. PS: I would have liked to see sours at the end with the foam fully developed and settled out!

A shake and smile per cocktail 😍😍😍 I can't help but to smile too 😁😁😁

I had some cognac sours after dinner tonight. Sours are one of the most crushable cocktails in my opinion! So tasty and easy.

Interestingly enough I found 2 of your videos on sours as I was trying to decide what cocktail to make this evening. 3 of these are go-to drinks for me, Pisco, Whiskey and Amaretto. I've never tried Aperol or Midori sours but I will have to now. And thanks to your video this was the first time I actually made a sour (Whiskey) at home. It turned out great!

Love these multiple cocktail videos. Would be great to see a 5x layered cocktails video!

Dude.....you are the most charismatic bartender there is!! Keep it going

Definitely a video I've been waiting for, thanks heaps for making this great compilation of sours! Cheers Steve! :)

Woooo yes! Strong whiskey kick and sour with creamy texture! My mouth gets watery just looking at this!

Absolutely love Midori sours, just works so well. And can't go past Whiskey Sours, always a good all rounder.

I love pisco sours and have been drinking them for years. I recently tried the "Cucumber Salt & Smoke" which is exactly like a pisco sour except you substitute 1 oz of mezcal for 1 oz of pisco. So a split base sour cocktail. It was AMAZING. Give this a try when you have the time. I might never have a 'normal' pisco sour again.

Love the idea of bitters in a spray bottle! Need to try. Great video 👍🏻

Pisco is DA BEST! Thank you so much for adding it to your bar

Good stuff. I'm a big fan of the whiskey kick in the amaretto sour, preferably with a overproof bourbon to cut through the sweet liqeuer. Sours and their variants are an endless delight. I've been making a lot of Clover Clubs lately with an inexhaustible raspberry harvest in the yard. That Aperol sour looks like a one-up replacement now that the snow has finally landed on the bushes.

Awesome steve

That 5x pour at the beginning was ASMR magic right there, Steve

Steve, 5 great sours. There are a couple here I have not tried yet. Thank you for the ideas. But most inconstantly the fun video.

Sours are our go to as well (cocktail making only being new to us since this year and needing a hobby to make up for 2020 being nuts) raspberry gin sours have been a great find. The Charlie Chaplin is a great Sloe Gin sour as well.

Definitely gonna try the Aperol sour! 🍸

I love the Knob Creek Rye, especially for a Manhattan!

You should try a “Chilcano”. It’s a really popular drink in peru. This is how i make it: 2oz pisco, 0.5oz freshly squeezed lime juice, 2 dashes of bitters. shake all the ingredients and pour on a glass with ice. finally, top with ginger ale (should be about 2-3oz). enjoy!

I can suggest I nice cocktail I had with pisco is called, Santiago Sour, is basically a variation of the New York sour, but using pisco; since both are made out of grapes is a nice combination and if you use a clear pisco the color look really nice due to the contrast

Steve, I love your channel. I am a huge fan of pisco, although I live in Seattle. The rivalry between Chile and Peru is legend when it comes to pisco, and dozens of ratios and combos. However I, like you, wanted something different on occasion. Try a Pisco Daisy. Muddle a strawberry or a few blueberries, add 1.5ml pisco, .5 dry Curasau, .25ml dry vermouth and .5 simple. (Adjust to taste i prefer less sweet) you can top with soda, I don't. This makes an AMAZING punch, just batch it up and leave the soda on the side. Enjoy!

I loved the aperol sour

Sour cocktails are my favorite.

Steve, in Chile one of the most popular cocktails is piscola. That is almost the national drink (pisco sour being THE national drink). It is a simple mix of pisco and coke. Enjoy!

Whiskey sour is probably my fave drink. Five great options here, my preference would go whiskey, pisco, amaretto, midori, aperol.

Nice job, man! I like mine with a peat whisky such as Ardberg or Laphroaig.

Great episode and a nice reference to the Pisco story (which is 100% Peruvian, just as FYI there is a city named “Pisco” in Peru where the spirit was birth). It will be great if you do a whole episode of Pisco cocktails: pisco sour, passion fruit sour, chicha morada sour, chilcano, el capitan (Peruvian Manhattan), Machu Picchu, Pisco Punch, and more!

We Peruvians use a touch of Algarrobina in our Pisco Sour too... Salud🍺

For Pisco drinks I’d research around 2010-2013 it had a boom. I remember procurement of Pisco in Connecticut 2010-2011, and CT is not a obscure alcohol state. I recall having simple recipes I could make at home. In comparison, I’m searching for Piquette here in CT and finding it impossible.

I find Sours are a great crowd pleaser... i did some corpse reviver #2s at a party this weekend and it was a winner :)

That's got to be the most reserved opening of a Disaronno bottle I've ever seen. Every time I can't help but make the lid spin round as fast as I can.

Good job from morocco

Liquor.com has a lovely pisco bramble recipe that uses chambord. the raspberry plays really well with the grape flavor of pisco

Interesting how you dry shake first, I'll have to experiment now!

The Amaretto Sour is so underrated!

you can try the "Chilcano". It's a summer drink served with ice. Basically pisco, ginger ale, lime juice (our lemon), angostura bitters and you can garnish it with a lime twist or lime slice. ALSO, there is another cocktail called "Algarrobina" that is sweeter and creamier. The name comes from the syrup that it uses "algarrobina" (similar to molasses). Also, it has milk, eggyolk and ground cinnamon and ice. Try to avoid aromatic pisco for this one.

Can you PLEASE do an old fashioned tutorial, favourite drink ever and need some tips!

I much prefer the shaking style of cocktail #4 and #5!! 😂😂 great video steve

Try Chilcano de Pisco. It's one of my favorites

I'm a bit late, but I don't think anyone else has mentioned that the buy the back bar credit for the Knob Creek Rye has it as 'Knoob Creek' haha. Don't know why, but it made me crack up, so figured I'd mention it haha

We are planning a trip to Lima sometime late 2021/22. I have been researching it and the Pisco sour comes up EVERYWHERE. I have every intention of trying is many times and since I usually prefer my spirits neat, I'm sure there will be a fair amount of pisco taken in that way too.

I was just about to make myself a cognac sour when I spotted this video. I use PX sherry instead of simple syrup, and a 50/50 blend of lemon and orange juice. Sometimes I even go with just the orange juice, but I'm not sure you can actually call it a sour at that point. Sure is tasty though.

If you're looking for more pisco drinks, try the Maracuya Sour. It's a great summer drink. 2 oz pisco, 1 oz passionfruit syrup, 1/2 oz lime juice, 1/2 egg white. Shake, strain.

Nice video !! About pisco i would recommend you to try a couple of popular cocktails in Perú. The first one is called “Captain” ( 45 mL pisco, 30 mL sweet vermut , 2 dashes of Angostura bitters) and the second one is called “Chilcano” (30 ml de pisco, 15ml of lime juice, pour that into a collins glass with ice, and complete it with ginger ale… I mix ginger ale and ginger beer ti give it some spice notes). For the Chilcano i would recomend a "Torontel" grape pisco, as for the "Capitan" a "Negra Criolla" grape.
