EVERY FIRST SATURDAY IN FEBRUARY OUR SEVENTH FESTIVITY PERUVIAN PISCO SOUR´S DAY

Hi Guys I´m glad you like Arequipa so take notes the next places I will recommend you.
In this opportunity I tell you about our celebration of Pisco Sour´s Day.It´s our typical beverage (alcohol), it is based of grapes and we have many flavours and smellings. Oh It´s so delicious to taste.So this last Saturday in Peru we celebrated that special day is amazing how people went out with friends to drink and enjoy this traditional Peru´s beverage.
Well it was amazing the principal place in Peru where the Pisco is produced is Ica is 4 hours away from Lima.According to the news they said that all the producers were giving free Pisco to the citizens¡¡¡¡¡¡ Oh I wanted to be there jejejej
By the way, I went out and my husband and I celebrate that jejej and it was nice.
Are you ready? I ´ll give you the recipe to prepare a delicious and spectacular Pisco Sour .On the other hand in your countries you can find Peruvians Pisco like this famous brands:Ocucaje, Queirolo,Demonio de los Andes,
It´s is better to choose Pisco( with Uva quebranta )it is used for this preparation.
When you arrive to Peru for the first time don´t forget to ask for this beverage¡¡¡¡¡
Here we go: Peruvian Pisco Sour´s( Our National Beverage)
Ingredients:
3 ounces of Pisco
1 vase with ice
1 white (egg)
1 once of lemon juice
You put everything in a shaker like this: First the ice , then Pisco, the white,and lemon .You mix all the ingredients for little minutes ) it is better to have a shaker and no a blender because with the blender you won´t feel the alcohol and the delicious flavour)
After that you pour over glasses(if you look on internet we have an International glass of Pisco because you know every famous beverages in the world has their typical glasses to keep the taste and the great quality of the beverage)
Then once you have your drink, add "amargo de angostura" I don´t know how to say in English but it´s a liquid ( color is brown) to decorate some beverages.
And Guala¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Enjoy it ,
please if you prepare it tell me your experiences


Kisses
Lily
