The Famous Pisco Sour

A Pisco Sour, as mentioned, originates from Peru and is made with a Peruvian or Chilean brandy called Pisco (go figure right?). There’s been an ongoing battle between Chile and Peru about the origins of the drink but most people attribute the drink to a bar called Morris’ Bar where it was created by a man named Victor Morris.

How to Make a Pisco Sour

The cocktail combines Pisco, Angostura Bitters, Lime Juice, Simple Syrup and Egg White. To make the drink, combine the ingredients in a Boston Shaker with ice and shake until cold. Once it’s ready, pour it into an old fashioned glass and garnish with bitters and a lime slice or wedge. If you enjoy this cocktail, try my Cranberry Whisky Sour as well.

The Glassware

I’ve had these glasses for a while and have yet to use it so I was pumped to find a great cocktail that would suit it. The glass is a vintage old fashioned glass by Cutler, a company that makes beautiful glassware. You can often find them at antique malls or on Etsy.

Enjoy the drink!

    Hi Mike,
    Very inspired that you are suggesting piscosour which is a great cocktail.
    In my experience, they ought to be made in a blender and my recipe is slightly different
    1/2 egg white
    1oz lime juice
    2oz pisco
    2oz ice (5 cubes)
    1oz gum syrup (not simple syrup)
    Now about Pisco’s origin, you gotta look up where Pisco actually is: it’s in Ica, Peru, about 250km south of Lima.
