Pisco Sour

“Eggshells, fruit, lime…cloves boiled together…I watched this expert bartender make it and now I know the secrets!” my father says as he convinces us he is an expert in all things Pisco Sour, the national cocktail of Peru!

A trip to Peru brought my father back home obsessed with perfecting the Pisco Sour. Funny thing how projects like this will rally an entire group to join in (could be because alcohol is involved). We learned that alcohol is made with a Muscat brandy called pisco (sub grappa if you are desperate).

Maybe I’m a bit biased, but I am LOVING my version…
