#5: Red Bean Pisco Sour
In May, it’s time to play! Celebrate the return of sunny days with this absolutely indulgent drink. What we are looking for here is a gourmet twist on the classic Pisco Sour, both fresh and generous, introducing a twofold use of kidney beans: one, to densify the cinnamon syrup, making it more chocolaty and creamy without added sugar, and two, by using “aquafaba”, in other words their “liquid”, to whip up a mousse similar to that of egg whites, though even airier. The salt will help the mousse rise and bring out the iodised taste of the pisco.
6cl of pisco
2.5cl of lime juice
2cl of cinnamon-kidney bean syrup
4cl of kidney bean aquafaba
A pinch of salt
Put it all together in a shaker, then give it a dry shake without ice to whip up the aquafaba.
Then shake again with a few ice cubes and filter through a sieve into a champagne glass.
Sprinkle with cinnamon.
