Pisco Sour

July 26, 2018 By Manu 5 Comments

Pisco Sour

When we were in Santiago de Chile, we had some delicious Pisco Sour. A Pisco Sour is an alcoholic cocktail of Peruvian origin that is typical of both Chile and Peru. It is considered somewhat of a South American classic.

Pisco Sour

The drink’s name comes from the liquor Pisco, which is used to make the cocktail, while the term Sour is in reference to the lime juice component.

Pisco Sour

Both Chile and Peru claim the Pisco Sour as their national drink! Apparently, the Peruvian Pisco Sour uses Peruvian Pisco, freshly squeezed lime juice, simple syrup, ice, egg white, and Angostura bitters. The Chilean version instead uses Chilean Pisco and pica lime, and it has no bitters and egg white. However, the Pisco Sour with had in Chile was more similar to the Peruvian version, so that’s what I am sharing with you today.

Pisco Sour

I know, I know… egg white in a cocktail? Well… yes, I had the same reaction at first, but trust me… you can’t taste it at all. It just gives the drink a foamy, silky texture. If you can, use pasteurized egg whites.

Pisco Sour

No matter the origin, this cocktail is refreshing, sweet, tangy, and just plain delicious! I strongly suggest you try it. Don’t forget to check out my video recipe and to leave a comment to let me know how you like it! Salud!
