The Pisco Sour – a perfect sour cocktail recipe
The citrusy frothy pisco sour is a fantastic classic cocktail that you've probably seen on bar menus. It's the national cocktail of both Peru and Chile where pisco brandy is made and loved.
Although technically in the same category as other spirits such as cognac pisco is in a category of its own. It is a spirit that is typically clear and can range from slightly sweet to spicy and bitter. Pisco is delicious when mixed into cocktails the most popular of which is the pisco sour.
The exact history of the pisco sour is disputed. Both Chile and Peru claim the creation of this famous cocktail. However the generally accepted story is that it was created sometime between 1915 and 1925. This story gives credit to bartender Victor Morris an American bartender working in Lima Peru at the time. It is a classically styled sour drink that was likely influenced by cocktails such as the whiskey sour.
