Pisco Sour is the national cocktail of Peru and Chile. It was created around 1915 – 1920s by an American bartender, Victor Vaughen Morris, in Peru.
Initially, the recipe was a variation of the sour family of drinks, and later another local bartender, Mario Bruiget, added Angostura bitters and an egg white.
