With a recent South American theme exploring the travel wonders of Nazca, Riobamba and colourful Caminito in Buenos Aires and a diet of Peruvian guinea pigs, this week's photo is the favourite South American cocktail of Pisco Sour. I have joined Lifecruiser and many others in celebrating an international cocktail party.
The Pisco Sour is the national drink of Chile and Peru. It is made with pisco, sugar syrup, lime juice, egg whites and bitters and is a refreshing afternoon drink.
So here is salut to all those international drinkers at our first cocktail party.

YUMMY!!!! I've not tasted that one before. I'm definitely widening my drinking habits from this! *giggles*
Hi Mark!
I love Pisco Sours. When I traveled around Peru, I practically lived on these babies, since they are so yummy and cheap:)

Looks and sounds delicious - thanks for sharing from your part of the world!
Your always welcome for Norwegian Champagne with me :-)
The egg whites would scare me a little, but I'm sure once I gave it a chance, it's delivious!
You had me with "lime". Yum!
@lifecruiser: Off to South America with you.
@marina: Me too.
@rennyBA: Norwegian Champagne sounds a little different.
@susan: You don't even taste the egg whites so they are fine.
Mmm, I plan on heading to Peru next year, I'll be sure to write this one down. Sounds like a keeper. Thanks for this!
@corbin: And they are pretty cheap and everywhere around Peru. Enjoy your trip - it is a fantastic country rich with travel wonders.
Ooohhh how I regret I didn't buy that Pisco bottle in Peru to bring to New Zealand!
Well, maybe next time..
@heather: lime does it for me too. For some reason, limes are prohibitively expensive in Australia and so most drinks replace it with lemons.
@cris: A good reason to return...
