Pisco Sour
Victor Vaughen Morris, an American in Peru, had the hippest bar in town. He had moved to Lima in 1904 and opened Morris Bar. The Pisco Sour was his take on the Whisky Sour! It was tweaked in the 1920’s when bartender Mario Bruige added the egg white to give it foam and the Angostura bitters a bit of bite. This iconic South American cocktail blends Pisco brandy with lime, simple syrup, and egg white for a silky, citrusy delight.

New York Sour
The New York Sour cocktail is a refreshing, creamy, and boozy drink that is one of the best and least known. Adding a layer of red wine to a classic whiskey sour seems like it would to throw it all off, but it is a perfect match to the sweetness of the classic cocktail.
