Happy National Pisco Sour Day!

Today is National Pisco Sour Day and it’s always celebrated on the first Saturday in February. It’s thought that the Pisco Sour was invented by an American bartender named Victor Morris in the 1920s at his bar – Morris’ Bar Lima, Peru. Mario Bruguet then added egg whites to the recipe and turned this cocktail into the velvety goodness it is known for today.

What better way to celebrate the day than by making an authentic Pisco Sour?! Here’s a fantastic recipe that uses PISCO PORTÓN, Peru’s #1 pisco export.
