Yes, a classic Pisco Sour does contain raw egg whites! They give the drink that frothy, smooth texture on top. If you’re concerned about raw eggs, you can use pasteurized egg whites or try an alternative, but the original recipe is all about that froth!

No, traditional Pisco Sour recipes do not contain raw eggs. The original recipe uses egg whites for a frothy top, but modern versions often use pasteurized egg whites or vegan alternatives for safety.
