Description:
Pisco sur cocktail was invented over 50 years ago
In Peru, on the first Saturday of the month, officially established in February 2004, the Day of "pisco sur" - the most popular cocktail in the country based on grape vodka "pisco", which Peruvians have been drinking since the XVI century.
The Pisco Sur cocktail was invented over 50 years ago in one of Lima’s popular bars. Its recipe is simple - egg white, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon and finely ground ice are added to grape vodka.
On the streets and squares of all cities of the country on this day there are massive free tastings of the drink, accompanied by rhythms of Creole music, dancing and general fun. In the south of the country, where the main production areas are concentrated, a national competition for the best cocktail is traditionally held.
