Pisco

Pisco is a type of brandy produced primarily in Peru and Chile, made by distilling fermented grape juice. It is typically clear or lightly tinted and varies in flavor depending on the grape varieties used. Pisco is a key ingredient in cocktails, most famously the Pisco Sour, which includes lime juice, sugar, and egg white. The drink has cultural significance in both countries, with each claiming its own style and production methods. Pisco is enjoyed neat or in mixed drinks, and its production is regulated to maintain quality and authenticity.
