Possibly the most delicious cocktail of all time

by

We are more than partial to a pisco sour or two, and we think that the classic pina colada is the very essence of a beach holiday. Jason Atherton’s head barman at The Blind Pig, Gareth Evans, experimented with the two and created the pisco colada (or indeed the Cirocolada, in homage to its key ingredient). We think it may well be the most delicious cocktail we’ve ever tasted. Although, it does come across as fatally and deceptively “soft” –  it’d be far too easy to sink a ruinous number of rounds

15ml pineapple syrup

5 drops cardamom bitters

20ml lime juice

15ml egg white

Dry shake, add ice and shake hard. Strain into a coupette and garnish with a drop of swirled angostura bitters on the surface of the drink. C
