1/2 oz Pineapple Juice
1/2 oz Lime Juice
1/2 oz Simple Syrup
1 Egg White
Shake without ice and then with ice. Strain into a rocks glass and float a line of Regan's Orange Bitters on top of foam.
For my last drink at Ben Sandrof's Sunday Salon, I mentioned to Ben that I was considering the Pisco Punch on his menu unless there was an off-the-menu egg or egg white drink that he wanted to make. As a compromise, he proposed the idea of making a Pisco Punch with egg white akin to the traditional Pisco Sour. Ben's Pisco Punch was similar to the ones that I have made and had before save for the citrus as he chose lime. The identity of the proper citrus in the Pisco Sour (or Pisco Punch) is a rather common debate. What is confusing is that the lemon grown in Peru, the limón verde, has a flavor rather similar to key limes. Without the indigenous citrus readily available in this country, there may be no single right answer.

That's just like my (perhaps poorly named, as you pointed out) Pine-sol Sour, except I used lemon. Not surprising since I likewise just combined a Pisco Punch and Sour, but I know you know about it because you commented:

Anyway, I liked it too.
