Modern Bird's Chamomile Pisco

Bottoms Up

By Anna Faller | May 3, 2025

We don’t know about you, but we’re going a little nuts waiting on warm beach days and bathing suit weather, so we’re giving the sun gods an extra nudge by sipping on the Chamomile Pisco Sour at Modern Bird. Crafted in homage to the bright-meets-bundled balance of early spring, this nutty little number combines house chamomile tea-infused Control Pisco (that’s a South American grape-based brandy) with a delicate egg white froth, fresh lemon juice, and a scratch-made simple syrup flavored with toasted and salted pistachios. Shaken, served up in a coupe, and finished with pistachio dust, this sip feels just like sunshine in a glass! (Enjoy it alongside the citrus-spiked Hamachi Crudo and thank us later.) Drink it in, literally, at Modern Bird, 541 W. Front St. in Traverse City. modernbirdtc.com
