Chile disputes these bragging rights, and contends Pisco originated on its soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recipe for the drink is a simple matter of ratios:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3 parts pisco<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1 part lime juice (If in the USA, use a combination of regular limes and key limes to match the acidity of Peruvian limes)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1 part sugar syrup<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add an egg white and ice and blend. The result is a frothy white foam on top, with a lime tinged yellow concoction underneath. A few drops of angostura bitters complete the drink. It\u2019s a bracing start to a long, relaxing lunch, or a wind-down drink at the end of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pisco (that is to say, real Peruvian pisco, not the inferior swill exported by Chile) can be hard to find outside of Peru, so if you fall for this cocktail, don&#8217;t forget to pick up a bottle or two at duty free once you&#8217;ve gone through immigration on your flight home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peru\u2019s love affair with the lime starts with ceviche and continues in its potent, refreshing national cocktail, the pisco sour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10829,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[810,43,21,22],"tags":[672,497],"post_series":[],"class_list":["post-264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-drinks","category-ica","category-peruvian-cuisine","category-recipes","tag-peruvian-drinks","tag-pisco","entry","has-media"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fertur-travel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fertur-travel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fertur-travel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fertur-travel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fertur-travel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=264"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.fertur-travel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20779,"href":"https:\/\/www.fertur-travel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264\/revisions\/20779"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fertur-travel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fertur-travel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=264"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fertur-travel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=264"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fertur-travel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=264"},{"taxonomy":"post_series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fertur-travel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_series?post=264"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
