Pisco Sour cocktail

Pisco Sour Cocktail Recipe

The Pisco Sour is a signature South American cocktail, especially popular in Peru and Chile, made with pisco (a grape-based spirit, national spirit of Chile and Peru), fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and egg white. Shaken to a frothy finish and topped with a few drops of bitters, it offers a silky texture and a bright, citrusy flavor with a subtle herbal complexity. Celebrated for its balance and smoothness, the Pisco Sour is both a national pride and a globally admired classic.
