Also agree that the small limes are the best and recommend Pisco Biondi! If you are using Chilean pisco, I would use less sugar because it is sweeter. Dry shaking tastes better than blended because it takes more love! Gotta shake over each shoulder too ; ) Salud!!! We have always added the egg whites at the end to make the froth.

My boyfriend insists on no egg white. Amazing drink. I have heard from those who have traveled in Chile that they are NOT served with the egg white there. My boyfriend insists on no egg white.

Drink Italia neat w/a bit o' lime- the others aren't up to snuff- careful with pisco puro, if you're going to drink pisco sauers (así es, compadrito), pay attention to the jarabe- make it yourself, find good ingredients (a buen entendedor, pocas palabras). As for pisco, all the good stuff is buried in people's jardin's right now. Try throwing in some dried apricot's. The new thing (not so new)- pisco sauers de frozen camu-camu- cosa seria, mamita. Don't drink BarSol, never drink pisco chileno and avoid Pisco Vargas at all costs. La Botija is fine for most palates. Most of the expensive stuff is long on price, and that's it. Ocucaje is fine as well, Tacama- factory stuff. In Peru, go to Barranco, bajo el puente, a Toto's, dile a don Jorge que te mandó el duende and ask for the stuff from la familia en Ica.

Chile tries to copy but the origins are in Peru, there is even a city called Pisco in Peru. @Stevi: Thx for sharing your experiences. Pisco sour is definitely my favorite Cocktail! I use 3 shots Pisco Acholado, 1.5 shots of Jarabe de goma (imported from Peru) and 1 shot of freshly squeezed lime juice. I found the small limes work the best, the bigger ones or the lemons just don't give the right flavor or strength. Blend it all together, add egg white and then add two cups of ice. Listo! Salut and Prost! @Krl Roman: nice try, but Pisco is from PERU!! Chile tries to copy but the origins are in Peru, there is even a city called Pisco in Peru.

I'm peruvian and my husband from Austria, we live in SouthCalifornia and he loves making pisco sours at home each other night :) We have all the ingredients at home, brought some from Peru and some from (latin) peruvian stores in LA. You should try next time Algarrobina cocktail (another peruvian drink with pisco) is also very good! Greetings, Jessica. Hey Stevi,

Not sure where you're located, but there are US liquor stores that carry pisco, and some of the stores that will do mail order have it as well. There's a few bars that will have a pisco sour on the menu; it's becoming popular in San Francisco, I'm told. Phyllis,
