Our pisco sour recipe stays true to the traditional build, blending pisco with lime juice, simple syrup and an egg white. The egg white is a must; it provides a silky, frothy texture and a creamy mouthfeel without altering the flavor of the drink. It also creates a foamy head that’s essential to the presentation of your pisco sour.<\/p>\n

What is pisco?<\/h2>\n

Pisco is a clean and aromatic brandy made from intensely floral grapes. This spirit has strong roots in Peru and Chile, with both countries claiming to have invented and distilled pisco first. While the exact origins remain unclear, we do know that grapes were distilled in South America as early as the 1500s. The pisco sour-type cocktail is believed to have been first served during Prohibition by Victor Morris, an American expat in Peru. Later, in 1930, a similar recipe appeared in Chile.<\/p>\n

The drink remained a South American favorite, occasionally enjoyed by tourists and travelers, until it began to appear on menus in New York in\u00a0the 1960s. It gained significant popularity during the classic cocktail renaissance of the early 2000s.<\/p>\n
