Dia del Pisco

The pisco is the national drink of Peru, and it is a grape brandy that is made from Quebranta grapes in the Pisco valley. The Dia del Pisco is celebrated with pisco tastings, pisco sour competitions, and the reminder that the pisco sour (pisco, lime juice, sugar, egg white, and Angostura bitters) is the national cocktail of Peru. The debate over who invented the pisco (Peru or Chile) is one of the most heated in South America. The answer is Peru (the pisco was first produced in the Pisco valley in the 16th century), and the Peruvian pisco is the best.
