Uncle Kiki’s Cocktail Corner: Kiki’s Pisco Sour
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Alright cocktail lovers, we’re landing in your feed today with a special beverage we’ve been loving on lately. Truly something oh-so perfect to accompany this beautiful sunshine we’ve been having.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This magnificent creation has become the standard for what many people use to describe a quintessential egg white / frothy cocktail. For a relatively simple cocktail of 4 ingredients, the nuance and mysticism from Pisco or “Little Bird” which is the translation from this Quechua word. The spirit of Chile and Peru, Pisco is a brandy/eau-de-vie, meaning it is distilled from wine. A great Pisco is fruity, floral and structured. Our faves? We love Mulita and Barsol.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ingredients & Tools:
2 oz Pisco
0.75 oz Fresh Lemon or Lime Juice (I prefer Lime but Lemon works great too)
0.75 oz Simple Syrup (1:1 simple syrup is ideally made where you take equal weight of sugar and water and heat in a saucepan until fully incorporated. Volume works as well if you don’t have a scale. I Like to make at least 500ml and then keep whatever remains in the fridge to be used in coffee or future cocktails!)
1 Egg
Aromatic bitters
Cocktail Glass (traditionally we use a coupe or nick and nora glass)
Shaker
Ice
Hawthorn Strainer
Fine Mesh Strainer
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instructions:

First start with your cocktail shaker, mason jar or protein shake.

Separate your egg (we’re using the whites only!)

Add the Egg White, Pisco, Citrus Juice, and Simple Syrup into your shaker (don’t add ice yet!)

Shake your shaker vigorously to properly emulsify the egg white *this is called a dry shake, 10-15 seconds should do it but the harder and longer the shake, the better emulsification and greater the volume / quality of the”head”, like a perfect Guinness

Add the ice and shake vigorously for another 10 seconds

Double strain using a fine mesh strainer into your cocktail glass

Finish using aromatic bitters by dropping a spread of dots onto the foam and then use a toothpick or other pointy tool to draw a design.

Voila! 🍹

OK, no your turn. Try it out and tag us in your creations. Cheers!

SEND ALL MY LOVE TO BASSCOAST 🖤

This year Basscoast will be welcoming a new bar managers to their festival and we wanted to take a moment to express what an amazing experience being part of this festival has been.

I remember so fondly the first year I stumbled upon Basscoast in 2011 in the beautiful Slocan Valley. It is still to this day one of the most cherished memories of my life and very likely one of the most influential. It was not only the people I went with but the people I met and continued to meet, all the amazing and creative people that made me feel safe, welcome, and inspired. Further inspired a part of myself that had been dormant since I was little, a place of magic.

Fast forward 11 year to 2022, after many more Bass Coasts, when I was presented with the opportunity to run the Cantina Bar, and then last year to help support the entire beverage program, it was a honour and joy to take what I have built and learned over the years and ultimately give back to a community that is still creating, harbouring and inspiring joy, love, respect, and magic for all through art and community. This time working behind the scenes, there are no words for my love and respect for this festival and all the incredible people whom I was lucky enough to interact with. I am so proud to have played a small part in a project that cares so deeply and champions equity, sustainability, reduction of harm and cultural respect.

I will not be returning this year to bring the Sugar Water hydration to Bass Coast, but I will certainly be coming back one day to enjoy it again as I have many times before. If you or anyone you know are at all inclined to meet incredible people, make a lifetime of memories, and gain profoundly rewarding experiences, please apply as a Bar Manager, Assistant Manager, or volunteer in the many ways you can!

Uncle Kiki’s Not-So-Silent Silent Review ft. Danimi Wines ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Last month we got the opportunity to host Winemaker Ciro Urciulolo of Danimi Wines at Supper Club edition No. 1 and taste some of their amazing collections. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Words fell short, but I think Kiki’s reviews are obvious. Danimi Wines you stole our hearts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On the Menu: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Danimi Votiva Bianco Bright, with toasted hazelnut aromas. Soft on the palate and perfect pairing with fish and light meat dishes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Danimi Dannami Complex with a mix of floral and fruity notes, violets, red berries with spicy notes that recall scents of tobacco and leather. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Danimi Redvivo Ruby Red with aromas of tobacco, wood and toasted coffee notes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All wines are available through our friends at Wine Alliance @winealliance

COCKTAIL CLUB is for the LOVERS ❤️ A very special Valentine’s Cocktail coming atcha - Meet the Kir for Love. Whether it’s Valentines, Galentines or more intentional Bro-time, we celebrate with time together, connection and create something that’s uplifting, sparkly and bright, grounded with depth and nuance. This cocktail, at its foundation, is a lovechild between the classic Kir Royale and the Pisco Sour. Just like how we run our Cocktail Clubs in person, if you’re feeling adventurous, with a little tweak you can create your own version - If you don’t have Pisco, try it with your favourite Vodka or Gin, or spiritually pair the Lambrusco with a beautiful Grappa. If you’re feeling the opposite direction it can still be wonderful with a great whiskey, tequila or rum - However for those strong flavours we’d recommend trying sans sparkling wine. Pick up ALL the goods to make your own as well as a special Cocktail Club recipe card at Vine Arts - Recipe cards available at both Victoria Park & 17th Ave Vine Arts. @vinearts Cheers, Lovers! — The Kir for Love *Topper - 1.5 oz of Paltrinieri Piria Lambrusco 1.5 oz of my Base Spirit - Pisco 0.75 oz of Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice 0.75 oz Creme de Cassis de Dijon 0.25 oz of Honey Syrup (1:1 make quickly by taking a heaping tablespoon of your favorite local honey, we use MOB) We combine all ingredients except the Lambrusco, in a shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well chilled (5-10 seconds depending on how vigorous, can always adjust in the future based on preference). Strain into a Coupe or Flute, and then top with Lambrusco. Finish with a lemon twist by expressing the oils over top and then dropping it into the glass or adorn the rim. Get creative. Special thanks to the team @vinearts & @proofyyc for helping us whip out some delicious ones 🤤❤️
