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.

SERVES 1 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 ounces peruvian Pisco

2-3 drops Angostura bitters

Directions

1
In a blender, combine key lime juice with the egg white.
2
Add simple syrup, pisco, and ice and blend at high speed until frothy.
3
Pour into a sour glass, top with a few drops of bitters and serve.

I too prefer the lime juice in this. I actually like this drink better without the egg white and bitters, but it's good either way. The egg doesn't add any taste, just foaminess. It's interesting that Chile also claims this as their national drink, since it's named after the town of Pisco in Peru! Thanks for posting!

wow this is good. I was skeptical about using egg white in this. But finally we can't taste it. I won't hesitate anymore with egg whites in drinks. I forgot to add the Angostura bitters. Thanks Cheryl. Made for Beverage tag.

My son just came back to the states from a visit to South America so I asked him to pick me up some of the local liquors which included Pisco and Cachaca. I like this sour but prefer the lime juice rather than the lemon. I added lime juice after tasting. Thanks for this authentic recipe. Made while travelling through central and south american with my Babes. ZWT4.
