Recipe: Chicha Sour

Peruvian dishes and drinks are mostly result of unlikely fusions that turned out to be delicious. Chicha Sour is an uncanny drink that combines two of the most iconic products in Peru: purple corn and pisco. This is the sweet sister of the widely known "Pisco Sour" and a must in fancy bars of every city in the peruvian coast. The unique taste of this Pisco Sour Chicha and it's cold preparation - which includes ice and lemon - makes it the perfect cocktail for the summer. Ingredients for an amazing Chicha Sour: 6 ounces Pisco 2 ounces chicha syrup 1 ounce lemon juice 7 ice cubes 4 drops Angostura bitters 3 spoons egg white Chicha Sour Preparation: To prepare chicha syrup, boil chicha morada and add sugar until it gets syrup texture. When its ready and cold, put the syrup in a cocktail shaker, alongside the ice, pisco, lemon and egg white. Shake it for 30 seconds and serve. Add two drops of Angostura bitters on each cup. And enjoy!

Recipe: Pisco Sour

The famous Pisco sour, invented in Peru around 1900, is made with Pisco (a very classy grape brandy from the Andean country) and has a bit of bite of secret ingredients to create the balance in this creamy, frothy, limey drink. Ingredients: 3 cups of pisco 1 ½ cup of sugar 2 cups of lemon juice 1 egg's white Ice flakes Add drops of Amargo Angostura Preparation: First, prepare the PISCO SOUR only in a blender. Place the egg white and blend for a few seconds. Add the ice only until it reaches the middle of glass (this is the secret to get that the drink has a very heavy texture) move it and add all the ingredients but the Angostura. Mix it all. It might be necessary to add some ice water and rectify the quality of a great PISCO SOUR. Enjoy.
