Absolutely make sure you have at least one Pisco Sour, which is basically the national drink of Peru.</p><p>Made with Pisco, lemon juice, egg white and simple syrup, this drink will give you the bite of liquor accompanied with a sweet and tangy shock. The egg white, syrup and bitters on make the drink feel a bit frothy, though that simply makes the marvelous concoction that much easier to take down.</p><p>There are few things better in Peru than sitting down, relaxing and enjoying a Pisco Sour. Make sure you have at least one.</p><p>Nobody will judge you for having a few more.</p>
