Some advices
¿Shaker or blender should be used? For some, the
difference could be the speed; others like Pete Wells, the food critic of the
New York Times, it is best to use the shaker.
But is there real difference? Giancarlo Nazario,
experienced bartender says:
"The difference is in how the tools are used. The
'cockteleado' always has a mystique blender but can never provide the same
result using the blender correctly. "
Some recommendations:
a) Do not stir the mixture in a shaker for more than
10 seconds each time.
b) Do not leave the mixture in a blender long time
shall we do a lot of foam and become watery.
c) The order of the products is as follows: first
pisco, then lemon juice, sugar syrup, ice and pour egg.
d) If used blender, blend all ingredients with ice and
pulse to mix everything. When everything is well integrated and foam is adequate,
add ice and press the button on the blender 3 or 4 times to cool the pisco
sour.
e) The quality of the ice. Should be with triple
filtered water; without big hole to control the dissolution cubes. If ice is
small or dilute space quickly.
