  • Think I overdid the salt--in an all-hooch drink like this, it doesn't take much. The Booze Nerds have far more subtle palates than I--I didn't get much out of this, though as it warmed it became more interesting.

  • Absolutely wonderful on the nose! Taste is nicely balanced too, but careful with the FB. Might try a quick stir and strain next time, to start the drink off cooler. — ★★★★

  • Used ginger liqueur. Good but not much more than the sum of its parts.

Zachary Pearson commented on 11/14/2013:

Curated this slightly. Added garnish to the ingredients. Cleaned up the "creator" attribution. Added date as 1920 (which is around 90 years ago - see the other Pisco Sour in KC). Changed drink from Original Creation to Unknown.

A few questions - would a 1920's era Victor Morris have had a blender to mix this drink? Can you clarify the step after the blending? It sounds like the intent is to shake the blended ingredients over ice for 10 seconds, then strain into a glass.

Thanks,

Zachary

I also doubt the use of a blender, although the gomme syrup seems legit. I personally like the classic sour ratio of 4:2:1
