You should do the reverse dry shake. In other words, ice first, shake, discard ice, add egg, dry shake.
@@pacificcoastpiper3949 it gets a thicker foam but I never have trouble making a foam so it’s unnecessary. Plus I find it counter intuitive to shake without ice with warm hands after the drink has just been chilled.
@@StevetheBartender_ you have me there. How about a freezeable mixing ball
@@pacificcoastpiper3949 I recently went to Hong Kong and one bar was using frozen avocado pits!
@@StevetheBartender_ clever
Every time he smiles, remember!
He's smiling to his wife!
Shush! Let me dream!
@@WalkiriaNubes LOL
The hell. Drinks like that always bring visions of kick ass Australian beach bikini girls to a man’s third eye.
I love how you smile at the camera whilst shaking
I get told off if I don't do it now, ahah
@@StevetheBartender_ Whomever told you off needs told off.
Only for iced shakes. Dry shakes don't get the pearly whites. Lol. Love the vids.
@@WhyDoBabiesStareAtMe I think it’s his wife Kat who tells him off 🤣🤣🤣
@@WhyDoBabiesStareAtMe no no no I would totally tell him off if he didn't. He has a lovely smile!
Sours are probably my favorite cocktail family. At my old gig, for shits & giggles, I made a different sour for every spirit I had on the bar. The most surprisingly delicious was the Kahlua Sour. Loved it! 🥃 ☕️
That sounds a really fun idea!! 😲
I like that... coffee sour hey? I'll give it a shot! The sour family is great - so flexible and easy to get creative..
I do with borghetti. Adding some vodka for balancing the alcohol. And in this case with lemon.
If instead I add a bit of dark rum, use lime... So smooth... :)
Watching this, I became tempted to try this in making a brandy sour myself lol
@@XD001Pokemon Brandy sours were my go-to drink for an entire spring a couple years ago. Another good one to go a little light on the simple syrup.
Dude.....you are the most charismatic bartender there is!! Keep it going
Historical moment here, he's changed up his shaking technique
As long as we get that smile every time
It's different shake cause of the egg white. He has to shake harder
No stare on the first one🥺
A shake and smile per cocktail 😍😍😍 I can't help but to smile too 😁😁😁
dude that smile is magical. I want you in my party making cocktails and throwing that smile to my friends :D
Best pisco sour I've had was in Lima,Peru. Made with Pisco infused in coca leaves.
I had no idea that there was an Aperol Sour. That sounds delicious.
It's pretty tasty :)
Guess I'm making an Aperol sour this evening.
That Amaretto sour recipe is also very good with Frangelico subbed for the Amaretto.
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 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.
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 :)
Whiskey Sour's are my favorite. Love the videos as always, Steve. Would love them even more in the new studio!!
The sound of the egg white blooping into the cocktail shaker was so satisfying 😂.
Definitely a video I've been waiting for, thanks heaps for making this great compilation of sours! Cheers Steve! :)
You are a professional in your profession , I admire your dexterity.
Bought the book (per Ander's suggestion) and IT IS AMAZING! Good Job Steve!!
Love these multiple cocktail videos. Would be great to see a 5x layered cocktails video!
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!
Great video, thanks!👍
These videos are just getting better and better. Love the ingredients in the corner, love that you taste each right after, and of course, love the straight to the point content.
Thanks Ben! Really appreciate the feedback... always trying to refine the videos :)
Literally just bought my first ever bottle of Midori yesterday (never been a big melon fan) so this is perfect timing. Gonna go make this sour right now.
The 3-ingredient recipe is by far the best Midori recipe I've tried..
@@StevetheBartender_ Just had it and I can confirm that it’s the best (and only) Midori recipe I’ve ever had 😂🤙
I use Midori in equal parts with pineapple juice and Malibu rum. It's delicious.
I like your username and profile pic
Marie D, I make that same mix but add overproof rum to bring up the ABV of the whole cocktail. When well chilled the overproof disappears into the drink. Great for the summer, but it sneaks up on you 😂
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.
i love the little plop from the egg whites
I just find your videos so inspiring and your smile when your shaking looks so lovely 🤩
Fantastic video. I love Pisco and Pisco sour is one of my favourite sour variations. Cheers!
Pisco is DA BEST! Thank you so much for adding it to your bar
I think it would add a huge amount of production value if you had a downward-facing camera above your hands for when you're decorating the tops of the drinks since we never get to see!
Yep! New studio and new camera angles coming very, very soon..
@@StevetheBartender_ Ooh, exciting. Look forward to it :)
Love sours... so refreshing! I don’t use Aperol often but I do the same drink with Campari. Well done Steve! Cheers! 🥃🍸
Or a Negroni Sour!
@@StevetheBartender_ sour and bitter do go very well together!
@@StevetheBartender_ was legitimately about to ask about a campari sour
I use bourbon, rather than gin, as the balancing liquor in my campari sours.
@@devonhenegar9014 ooh I like that, I will try it thanks!
Finally , the perfect Amaretto Sour! Thx cheerz!!
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!
Woooo yes! Strong whiskey kick and sour with creamy texture! My mouth gets watery just looking at this!
The Aperol Sour looks fantastic 👏
simple cocktail is awesom
I had some cognac sours after dinner tonight. Sours are one of the most crushable cocktails in my opinion! So tasty and easy.
Love the idea of bitters in a spray bottle! Need to try. Great video 👍🏻
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.
Great video yet again! I was surprised by the midori sour and I really want to try it out!
Perfect timing, mate! I have been trying to improve my sour recipes this past week!
Nice one! Few more to try :)
Hey Steve. You just recommended this video to me on your whiskey video because I like sweet cocktails 🍹 🍸. Well I’ve mentioned egg whites not my thing but may just have to give it a try. The aperol sour I may not like re:not a gin lover and here’s that egg white again🤦♀️😂. Now I love midori. Steve. You are killing me with the egg white 😮. Now I’ve had amaretto sours and liked them but the bartenders did not put egg white. 🤷🏻♀️. Never heard of Pisco much less Pisco sour. Gonna look it up. 5 cocktails all with egg whites. One of these days I will try. Thanks so much for these suggestions and see you next video.
You should try it at least once... just use a little, 1/2 oz... I'm sure you'll love it!
That 5x pour at the beginning was ASMR magic right there, Steve
I really love the editing in this video. Keep it up mate ✌️✌️
Thank you 🙌 thanks to Simonas our editor!
Haha best line “I think my wife’s driving tonight... “ Out of all of them, my fave is by far the Midori sour! Great episode as always brother! 🙌🏼
Well done Kat for driving home 😜
Awesome steve
Pre straining your lemon juice is so simple but so genius.
Haha, thanks mate.. some will argue that you should also strain to remove ice shards and that I'm doing it all wrong... but I find that with big solid cubes like I use, they don't really shard... if you have cheaper / smaller / homemade cubes, they will probably shard easier..
Sour cocktails are my favorite.
Amaretto Sour = my teens
Pisco Sour = my 20s
Midori Sour = my 30s
Whiskey Sour = my 40s
Aperol Sour = probably my 50s
I'm just now getting into pisco's in my mid 30s lol....they've become my new fave!!
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!
Absolutely love Midori sours, just works so well. And can't go past Whiskey Sours, always a good all rounder.
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!
You should try it with extra strong ginger beer and no bitters.
Definitely gonna try the Aperol sour! 🍸
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.
My favorite is probably the Amaretto sour, but the bartender that makes it for me when I'm out also puts in a few drops of Angostura Bitters, which has become my preference.
Spraying the bitters rather than dropping them in is a savy move. Amaretto sour has definitely been a go of mine but I love every single one of these cocktails. Cheers!
Never tried an Aperol Sour, great one to try this summer! Cheers mate!
Great job !!!
Cheers Samy!
Nice you always need some sour cocktails. The midori sour is one of my favourite dinks ever!
Definitely gonna try the Amaretto Sour 👍

Let me know, how can I help you steve!!!
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.
Yes! I made another Conquistador tonight. Definitely going for the Amaretto tomorrow night.
I love the Conquistador... and all of Sam Ross' drinks for that matter...
I love the Knob Creek Rye, especially for a Manhattan!
That really looks delicious, your Aperol Spritz with Gin makes me to think about a Negroni Sour, gotta try it
I made the whiskey sour and the Aperol sour last night and both were delicious. Tonight onto the Midori sour! I Also bought a bottle of Luxado Sangue Morlacco cherry liquer and I'm going to try a sour with this and bourbon. Thanks for the great videos.
Welcome Jonathan... let me know which one is your favourite once you've tried them all ;)
I haven't tried it but that midori looks delicious.
Amazing video!! I'm sort of new to the sours game, so I'll definitely use fresh eggs, right out of the chicken 🐔 !!!!
Just tried the Midori sour and it was on point….next!
Ooo...spray of bitters! Interesting. I always liked the three drops/heart design made with a toothpick.
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.
I loved the aperol sour
Great video as usual, man. If looking for another pisco cocktail, I recommend giving Pisces Rising a try. A really great, fresh and somewhat fruity/floral cocktail.
45ml pisco
15ml sherry (prefably manzanilla sherry)
15ml lemon juice
15ml grapefruit juice
15ml simple syrup
1 barspoon
(about 5ml) peach liqueur (makes a huge difference)
2 dash celery bitter
Top with some soda water
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
We Peruvians use a touch of Algarrobina in our Pisco Sour too...
Salud🍺
I can't remember the last time I had midori. Now I might get myself a bottle. 😊
Chilean here!
Great stuff as always. In Chile, we normally do pisco sour with a 2-1-1 ratio. This is 60ml pisco, 30 ml lemon/lime, 30 ml simple syrup and egg white or aquafaba. We use Angostura bitters. In Australia, you can get some Chilean brands such as Mistral, Alto del Carmen and Mal Paso, however, they are VERY overpriced here (50-70 aud).
I love pisco sour and as I posted in the facebook group, the strawberry variation is really tasty.
Cheers!
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!
Hi I'm from Chile!, here's the classic one 🤣: old fashioned glass + 2 ice cubes + 3 to 4 oz of pisco 👹 + cola drink to the top, not a cocktail but amazing for drinking all night 🥃 🎊 🕺but I think you need a different pisco 😞. You have an amazing channel! 👌🏼
Piscola 👌🏼
First! Best cocktail channel :)
Man you must have been fast - thanks Lilith!
Nice job, man! I like mine with a peat whisky such as Ardberg or Laphroaig.
The Amaretto Sour is so underrated!
Sours are the best!
Thanks for the tip on Aperol Sour, I recall I made it using only Aperol and it was a bit too sweet and flat, though good!
Would a 100-proof bourbon help better in the Amaretto Sour or it really doesn't matter?
Definitely have to add Midori and Pisco to my bar! Cheers!
Good job from morocco
I much prefer the shaking style of cocktail #4 and #5!! 😂😂 great video steve
Can you PLEASE do an old fashioned tutorial, favourite drink ever and need some tips!
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!
Liquor.com has a lovely pisco bramble recipe that uses chambord. the raspberry plays really well with the grape flavor of pisco
Love your videos, Steve! Just wondering where you get your bottles for your syrups. Cheers in advance 😁
Hi Steve I like pisco sour is an cocktail tradition from Peru try in other time passion fruit sour or lucuma sour are delicious. 👍 good luck
Whiskey sour is probably my fave drink. Five great options here, my preference would go whiskey, pisco, amaretto, midori, aperol.
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.
good
The sound of the egg white hitting the rest of the drink in the tin is oddly satisfying.
I know right! I noticed that whilst rewatching the edited vid :)
Realize the pisco sour is the go-to usage of Pisco in cocktails - but would love to see some more usage of pisco! (Similarly would love to see some more non-caipiriania uses for cachaca.)
Love the sour family! Whiskey and Amaretto Sours are my favorites from the ones you made, but outside of that I also love a good Daiquiri, which is pretty much a Rum Sour :P
Yeah, so many sours to choose from... Daiquiri, Margarita, etc... but I stuck with ones that are actually name "xxxxx sour".... but I'm sure I could do a part 2, 3, 4, etc.!
@@StevetheBartender_ That would be great !
Try Chilcano de Pisco. It's one of my favorites
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.
Interesting how you dry shake first, I'll have to experiment now!
Sours, the best cocktails
