The Liquid Therapy is an American riff off the Pisco Sour, the velvety Peruvian cocktail, so if you’re American you can feel solidly patriotic drinking it. The Jewel features a trio of fruit flavors: raspberry, lemon, and strawberry. Like the Drunken Raspberry, the Liquid Therapy uses St. George’s Raspberry brandy is the base spirit – the brandy captures the flavor of the entire raspberry fruit from berry to stem. Freshly squeezed lemon juice rounds the drink out. Fresh strawberries were used to create strawberry shrub, an antique American drink ingredient originally made to preserve fresh fruit. The vinegar also lends the cocktail a little funk.
Like the Pisco sour, the Liquid Therapy uses egg white, so it requires some serious shaking to get proper texture.
