A classic tangy-sweet Peruvian cocktail made with pisco, simple syrup, lime juice, and egg white and garnished with a few dashes of bitters.

Last week, we drove to the Carolina coast to find refuge and respite in rolling waves, ocean breezes, and soft sand. It was idyllic and life felt almost normal for awhile.

Rather than tell you about our week at the beach, I’m going to let the following series of photos tell the tale. However, if you’re here for the pisco sour recipe and would rather skip over the beach house photos, feel free to jump to the recipe.

I know I’m breaking all the SEO/pinterest/blog writing best practices by not having a lot of text and presenting a bunch of horizontal images in this post but I think if there was ever a time to do things out of the norm, it’s now.

If you made it this far in the post, thank you! I appreciate you letting me share my vacation photos with you and letting me try something new with my images.

As you can see, we not only had a lot of time to sit and relax but we also made a lot of cocktails. My sister-in-law and her partner-in-crime planned a different drink for every evening and I love them for it. One of our favorites was the pisco sour.

The pisco sour is a classic cocktail but it was new to me. I loved it – egg white and all. It tastes light, is a good balance of sweet and sour, and I will forever connect it to cool summer breezes and happy times.
