PERUVIAN PISCO SOUR
Pisco is a clear brandy that is popular in both Peru and Chile. The white muscat grapes, from which pisco is distilled, were first grown in Peru by the Spaniards in the 16th century (at that time Peru & Chile were both part of Spain's American empire.) When they became independent countries, both claimed the liquor as their own. Therefore the national drink of both Peru and Chile, is the rich "Pisco Sour." However there is a difference in sweetness and the fruit used between the two countries' piscos. I have posted both recipes so be sure to try the Chilean Pisco Sour as well.

PERUVIAN PISCO SOUR
Steps:
- Blend together Pisco, lime juice, simple syrup, and egg white with ice. Strain mixture into old-fashioned glasses. Top with a few drops of Angostura bitters.
Tips:
- Chill all ingredients before making the pisco sour. This will help to create a cold, refreshing drink.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor. Bottled lime juice can be used, but it will not taste as good.
- Do not over-shake the pisco sour. Shaking the drink too much will cause it to become cloudy and foamy.
- Garnish the pisco sour with a lime wedge or a maraschino cherry for a festive touch.
