Recently a friend of mine celebrated his wedding last year in Peru with a celebration in Pasadena. Later we moved to the new couple's home in Altadena, where the bride handed out small glasses filled with frothy stuff and topped with a tiny sprinkling of cinnamon. People thought, mini Margaritas? Nah, pisco sours.
She blended Peruvian pisco, sugar syrup, lime juice and egg whites with ice, then hovered nearby with a pitcher of the stuff in case we ran low.
Hmm, what is pisco? After repeated samplings I decided definitely not tequila, but still, the flavor was somehow familiar...Good lord, grappa! Maybe that's why I can't remember just how many refills I had--

ReplyDeleteSweet and dangerous, indeed! And causes much wanderlust--

Love pisco sours. The first time I saw someone (friend from Chile) crack those eggs into the blender I was a little freaked out but they were so yummy.
