PERUVIAN PISCO SOUR



Peruvian Pisco Sour image

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.

PISCO SOUR



Pisco Sour image

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.

PISCO SOUR II

Categories     Alcoholic     Citrus     Cocktail Party     Spirit     Brandy     Party     Gourmet     Drink

Yield Makes 2 drinks

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 ounces (2 jiggers or about 1/3 cup) Pisco
3 ounces (2 jiggers or about 1/3 cup) sweet-and-sour mix
1 teaspoon powdered egg white (do not reconstitute) or 1 egg white

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with crushed ice and shake vigorously until egg white is incorporated. Strain into martini glasses.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality pisco. This is the foundation of the drink, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a pisco that is made with 100% Peruvian grapes and has a smooth, clean flavor.
  • Fresh lime juice is essential. Bottled lime juice just doesn't have the same bright, tangy flavor. If you can, use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best results.
  • Use simple syrup instead of granulated sugar. Simple syrup dissolves more easily in the drink and helps to create a smooth, consistent texture.
  • Chill your pisco and lime juice before making the drink. This will help to keep the drink cold and refreshing.
  • Serve the pisco sour in a chilled glass. This will help to keep the drink cold and refreshing.
  • Garnish the pisco sour with a lime wedge or a maraschino cherry. This will add a touch of flavor and color to the drink.

Conclusion:

The pisco sour is a classic Peruvian cocktail that is easy to make and delicious to drink. With its bright, tangy flavor and smooth, creamy texture, the pisco sour is the perfect drink 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.
