The Pisco Sour is Peru's national cocktail, a frothy showcase for the country's grape-based spirit. The drink balances Pisco's floral, slightly fruity character against sharp citrus and measured sweetness, while egg white gives it a silky, cloud-like texture. Drops of aromatic bitters across the foam add a spiced, bitter accent that cuts through each creamy sip.
