In an American ode to the Pisco Sour, New York City bartender Pamela Wiznitzer adds the kitschy (and utterly delightful) element of blue Curaçao to color this cocktail bright cerulean blue. A layer of egg white lays a thick, frothy blanket over which Peychaud’s bitters are dashed to create the star-spangled affect of red, white and blue.
