This South American cocktail is made with Pisco, a potent brandy distilled from Muscat grapes. Tasted on its own, Pisco has an almost grappa-like intensity. A spoonful of sugar, as well as bitters and tart lemon and lime juices, helps it go down—delightfully. The drink gets its distinctive foamy head from egg white, a classic ingredient in a number of old-fashioned cocktails.
