I love the fruit from M&S. They always have such a good selection available, especially if you’re looking for\u00a0in-season\u00a0<\/em>fruit. I find\u00a0their fruit is always\u00a0ripe and full of flavour. Many supermarkets and even local markets can have some really bland fruit.<\/p>\n

Over the summer M&S asked if I’d like to whip up a couple of recipes to share here on PGT. As a big fan of the brand I thought this would be a lot of fun. It’s always extra fun to collaborate with brands I love and use on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n

This not a sponsored post, they simply sent through a bunch of ingredients and directed me to their Best In Season recipes.<\/a>\u00a0I’ll be sharing a few fruity recipes with you over the next week but have decided to separate them into their own posts.<\/p>\n

Today we’re going to make a\u00a0Cherry Pisco Sour.<\/p>\n

\"Pisco<\/a><\/p>\n

What you need to make 4:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

250ml<\/span>\u00a0pisco<\/em>
\n200g<\/span>\u00a0pack of M&S cherries pitted<\/em>
\n100g<\/span>\u00a0caster sugar<\/em>
\n4-5<\/span>\u00a0limes, juiced, to give 100ml lime juice
\n<\/em>Lime zest to garnish<\/em>
\n3<\/span>\u00a0large eggs, separated, to give 100ml egg white<\/em>
\nA few drops of Angostura Bitters<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Infusing<\/a><\/p>\n

Method:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Start by putting the pisco and cherries into a large jug and covering with clingfilm. Leave them to infuse overnight or if you’re a little\u00a0impatient, 4 hours will do the trick.<\/p>\n

\"Infusing<\/a><\/p>\n

When you’re ready to make your Pisco Sour you’ll need to strain the liquid. Don’t forget to reserve some of the macerated cherries to use as a garnish.<\/p>\n

\"Pisco<\/a><\/p>\n

Next it’s time to make a sugar syrup. Put 100g of caster sugar into a saucepan with 100ml of water. Bring to the boil then simmer ’til the sugar has dissolved. It’s important you keep a closer eye on this step.<\/p>\n

Remove the sugar syrup from the heat and leave it to cool.<\/p>\n

\"Pisco<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s best to make each cocktail separately to ensure they taste their best.<\/p>\n

Combine 50ml of cherry pisco, 25ml sugar syrup, 25ml lime juice and 25ml of egg white into a cocktail shaker.<\/p>\n

\"Pisco<\/a><\/p>\n

Top with ice cubes with room to shake shake shake!<\/p>\n

\"Pisco<\/a><\/p>\n

Shake for 30 seconds.<\/p>\n

\"Pisco<\/a><\/p>\n

Strain into your favourite glass and shake over a few drops of Angostura Bitters.<\/p>\n

\"Pisco<\/a><\/p>\n

Garnish with cherries and lime zest.<\/p>\n

Make up another cocktail for your friend and then relax and enjoy the evening.<\/p>\n
