National Pisco Sour Day: February 1st, 2014


Deemed a national holiday in Peru back in 2003, the iconic pisco sour dates back nearly 100 years, but is currently at the forefront of mixology due to the recent revival of pre-Prohibition cocktails. Truly unique to Peruvian heritage - the classic combines pisco, lime juice, simple syrup, a dash of egg whites & bitters - but a few modern-day renditions made with Portón, the finest handcrafted pisco from Peru, are sure to shake things up!
