pisco sour for chile!


With Chile in the news let's drink the controversial drink the pisco sour.
The people of Chile & Peru have been battling over who has the right to produce this white muscat grape based brandy of sorts...and even though Peru has the region actually named Pisco on their map- today it is Chile! Chi, Chi chi- Le le le

and did you also know that it is illegal to import Chile concocted pisco into Peru? escandalo!
So, basically the brandy (because that's what pisco really is), is made in two regions, one is in Chile & the other in Peru..and thems is fighting words.

may 15th is pisco sour day in Chile!

  • 2-3 oz pisco
  • 1 pressed lemon
  • tablespoon of egg white
  • drop of bitters *save for last (atop to look like a little brown dot)

shake and strain. I think it looks best in a rocks glass- no ice.
but you could martini or champagne glass it up
makes about 3
