This South American cocktail has made its way to the US. It's made with the South American liquor pisco—a brandy made by distilling grape wine—citrus, a sweetener and an egg white. While its origins are a little muddled, whether by way of Peru or Chile, the cocktail makes for a refreshing drink with a bit of body from the egg white. While the egg white may scare you at home, no need to fret, just make sure you give it a good shake.
