For this installment of Sunday Sours, we be getting our exotic on up in this bitch and mixing with a South American joie de vivre as the base spirit. As an aside, bored Prizzo Skeezy readers may want to pay a visit to the days of way back and see a previous Pisco Sour review.

The Pisco Sour pours yellow with a bit of pink from Angostura Bitters. On the first sip, tart lemon hits the palate like LT sacking a quarterback. Next comes the fire of the Pisco. Finally, a bitter, but pleasant aftertaste lingers. The Pisco Sour is a sharp light libation that is highly recommended.

While the internet is littered with arguments over the origination of Pisco and the sour, one point of consensus is that the cocktail was originally concocted as a daring alternative to the common place (at the time) Whiskey Sour. While the beverage is fairly minimalist, it is also quite potent - drink enough of these and looking for ends on an infinite line will seem like a good idea.

I recommend searching for and obtaining Peruvian Pisco - Chile exports substantially more, but Peruvian is the original and best. In Atlanta, the genuine product from Peru can be found at Green’s on Ponce.

notes:

Leave it to the fucking wankers in Los Angeles to fuck up perfectly good cocktail recipes with a shit ton of extraneous fruit. The best day of my life is going to be when the San Andreas fault cracks completely and dumps the whole god forsaken state of California into the ocean. Seriously, the last good thing to come out of there was The Doors - in fucking 1960.
