Pisco Sour.

Country forums / South America / Peru

Does anyone have the receipe for Pisco Sour? We had one in Santiago, it was great. Not sure which country invented it.

It is sometimes on the label of the Pisco bottle, if you notice before you start drinking it.
Or if you try a search while you can still type & click

Don't ever ask Peruvians who invented it.

2

2 oz pisco
1/2 oz sugar syrup
1/2 oz lemon or lime juice
1 egg white
2 dashes bitters

Combine all ingredients except sugar with ice in shaker or blender, put in glass and then add bitters.

The more you repeat, the more you enjoy!

Chilean Pisco=PATHETIC.
Peru is the birthplace of Pisco, period.

#2 is correct. Your statement to a Peruvian should be, "I understand that Chileans invented Pisco and the Pisco Sour. Aren't you happy that they gave it to Peru?"

PISCO, PISCO, PISCO, it's been all over the TT; I wonder who's asking now.

GOD give me some patience.

PISCO is a quechua word, which is almost, perfctly, totally, undeniably, almost irrefutable that it means PERU. Since the Cuzco EMpire reached Chile, Argentina the actual PAcific Islands it 's worth doing the remark.

PISCO is a valley that's been signaled since the pre-Inca times; this valley is the actual port of PISCO in Peru, nowhere else.

PISCO was first traded to the US (San Francisco, California) at around 1800, where it became know as PISCO PUNCH. laTER an american who owned a bar in Lima, actually in the Jirón de la Unión ( near tyhe Plaza San Martin ), craete the PISCO SOUR.

In case you might not know,there's a PISCO valley in Chile founded about 50 years ago by the government on the idea of a chilean trader that came from Peru and (in one way or the other) convinced the government to name the valley as PIsco. I guess not even the people there claim or dare to claim the origin of the PISCO, but there's alway sthe more convinced or should I say brainwashed one sthat might believ ethey live in the land of PISCO, the fools on the valley I'd say.

The Valley is called Elqui de Pisco, and there is a major commercial Pisco manufacturer there.
It is a charming valley, but the pisco is shyte.
It should tell you all that you need to know that Chileans never drink there Pisco 'neat' or 'Puro', whereas any good Peruvian prefers Peruvian Pisco that way!

My apologies to RAFGAR, it was an innocent question and not meant to stir up such violent emotions! Thanks for all the answers, we are going to try making it at home. I had one in Ecuador but it did not have the kick the Chilean one had.

Sorry for my response, s.things happen in Peru that are because of chilean unfairness in many matters and PISCO is just one of them. Again, sorry to answer in that way.
