Pisco Sour

The Pisco Sour is a national drink of Peru and Chile, originating in the early 20th century, created by American bartender Victor Morris at Morris Bar in Lima. This cocktail uses Pisco, Peru's national spirit, as its base, with egg white providing a silky texture, and is considered one of the most representative cocktails of South America.

Flavor
The Pisco Sour perfectly balances the fruity notes of Pisco with the acidity of lemon, the simple syrup provides just the right amount of sweetness, and the egg white adds a silky mouthfeel and rich foam. The bitters on top add a hint of spice and visual appeal.
