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.

Steps:
- Add the pisco, lime juice, honey simple syrup and egg white to a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously until frothy. Open the cocktail shaker and add ice. Shake again to chill. Strain into martini glasses and top with coconut water. Serve and enjoy!
- Combine the honey and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use for cocktails and mocktails.
Tips:
- Use high-quality pisco. This is the key ingredient in a pisco sour, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a pisco that is made from 100% Peruvian grapes and has a smooth, mellow flavor. - Use fresh lime juice. Fresh lime juice is essential for a bright, tart flavor. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but it won't be as good. - Use simple syrup. Simple syrup is a mixture of sugar and water that is used to sweeten cocktails. You can make your own simple syrup by dissolving 1 cup of sugar in 1 cup of boiling water. - Use egg white. Egg white is used to give the pisco sour a frothy, creamy texture. If you're vegan or allergic to eggs, you can omit the egg white, but the cocktail will be less creamy. - Serve the pisco sour immediately. Pisco sours are best enjoyed fresh. Once they've been made, they will start to lose their froth and flavor.Conclusion:
The pisco sour is a classic Peruvian cocktail that is easy to make and delicious to drink. With its smooth, tart, and creamy flavor, it's the perfect cocktail for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a refreshing and flavorful cocktail, give the pisco sour a try. You won't be disappointed!
