If you need to take a break from your favorite bar (happens to the best of us) but don't want to give up on the crazy unique cocktails your choice bartender makes, check out this molecular mixology recipe for the Portón Tigre. While it may be a tad complicated for the novice, this drink definitely seems worth taking a stab at.

Designed to be a mixture of traditional Peruvian flavors, the Portón Tigre was created by Jorge Velasco, head barman of NYC Latin American hotspot La Pulperia. The cocktail is made up of four layers: a scallop ceviche (made with yellow pepper, cilantro and fresh lime juice), a Portón-infused corn foam, a camote foam (made with sweet potato, pineapple, cinnamon and clove), and is topped with a Portón pisco sour foam and bitters. Try it out and let us know what you think!

Put the sweet potatoes in a blender with some of the same water it was cooked in; without covering the potatoes. (Remember this is a purée and not a juice). Make sure there are no lumps as they can clog the canister. Let it cool to room temperature. Put the mixture in the canister and add Portón Pisco; close and load with the two N2O cartridges to cool. Before using, shake very well to obtain a very good mixture.

Pisco Sour Foam Ingredients: 6 parts Portón Pisco 6 parts fresh egg whites 3 parts gum syrup 3 parts fresh lime juice Need: 1 liter siphon canister 2 N2O cartridges
