CHILEAN 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 citrus used between the two countries' piscos. I have posted both recipes so be sure to try the Recipe #243479 as well. Note: Egg whites are sometimes used in chilean pisco sours as well, but for the purist, they will say it is unnecessary adornment.

PISCO SOUR
The pisco sour is sweet-tart, richly textured and crowned with a fluffy white top. The origins of the drink, a blend of pisco (a South American brandy), citrus, sugar and egg white, come with some debate as to whether it originated in Chile or Peru. But it is most commonly said to have been created in the early 20th century by Victor Morris, an American expatriate in Peru. While this recipe calls for using exclusively lime juice, a combination of fresh lime and lemon juice (1/2 ounce lemon, 1/2 ounce lime) works as well. Just don't skip the aromatic bitters, added as a final garnish and often in a decorative pattern: They contribute to the drink's final aesthetic and aroma.

Steps:
- Prepare the simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine sugar with 1/4 cup water. Heat over low, stirring frequently, just until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Refrigerate if not using immediately. (Remaining syrup will keep in the fridge for up to 1 month.)
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the pisco, lime juice, egg white and 3/4 ounce simple syrup. Cover and shake vigorously for 10 seconds. Add ice to the shaker, cover again and shake vigorously until chilled, about 10 to 15 seconds more. Double-strain into a chilled coupe or Nick and Nora glass. Garnish with bitters.

Tips
- Use high-quality pisco: Pisco 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% pure grape brandy and has a smooth, clean flavor.
- Fresh lime juice is a must: Fresh lime juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the Pisco Sour. Avoid using bottled lime juice, as it can be bitter and artificial tasting.
- Use simple syrup, not sugar: Simple syrup dissolves more easily than sugar, so it will help to create a smooth, well-balanced cocktail. To make simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan and heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
- Don't over-shake the cocktail: Over-shaking the Pisco Sour will make it watery and dilute the flavors. Shake the cocktail just until the ingredients are well combined, about 10 seconds.
- Serve the Pisco Sour immediately: The Pisco Sour is best enjoyed immediately after it is made. The egg white foam will start to break down after a few minutes, so don't let it sit for too long before serving.
Conclusion
The Pisco Sour is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. Follow these tips to make the best Pisco Sour possible. ¡Salud!
