distilled liquor
Quick Summary
Pisco is a South American brandy, often made from muscat grapes, that resembles French marc. It is a clear spirit that captures the natural essence of the grapes from which it is distilled. Both Peru and Chile claim to be the birthplace of pisco, and the pisco sour cocktail is considered the national drink in both countries. A pisco sour is made with lime juice, pisco brandy, and sugar, and is typically garnished with beaten egg white.1234
