Seems like everywhere you went over the past couple of summers the drink of the moment was the Mojito. From the traditional recipe to variations made with 7-up (horror!) and other ingredients Mojitos seemed to be the "in" cocktail. (Remember Cosmopolitans?) Well move over Mojito...there's a new cocktail in town and it comes from one of the hottest culinary destinations in the world. It's the Pisco Sour.
Originally from the town of Pisco, pisco is a distilled liquor is made from a range of eight different grapes. Often times it is mixed with fruits and spices to create delicious cocktails. The most famous drink is the Pisco Sour. Epiculinary's tour to Peru includes a Pisco Night in which you enjoy a Pisco tasting and learn to make delicious pisco drinks.
