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:

Tips:
- Use high-quality pisco: A good pisco is essential for a great pisco sour. Look for a pisco that is made with 100% Peruvian grapes and has a clean, fresh flavor.
- Fresh lime juice is a must: Bottled lime juice will not give your pisco sour the same bright, citrusy flavor as fresh lime juice. If you can, use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best results.
- Don't skimp on the simple syrup: Simple syrup helps to balance out the sourness of the lime juice and add a touch of sweetness to the pisco sour. Make sure to use a good quality simple syrup that is made with equal parts sugar and water.
- Chill your glass before serving: A chilled glass will help to keep your pisco sour cold and refreshing. You can chill your glass by placing it in the freezer for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with a lime wedge: A lime wedge is the traditional garnish for a pisco sour. It adds a touch of color and flavor to the drink.
- Serve immediately: Pisco sours are best enjoyed immediately after they are made. The ice will start to melt and dilute the drink, so don't let it sit for too long before serving.
Conclusion:
The pisco sour is a classic Peruvian cocktail that is easy to make and delicious to drink. With its refreshing citrus flavor and smooth, creamy texture, the pisco sour is the perfect drink for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a new cocktail to try, give the pisco sour a try. You won't be disappointed.
