To celebrate the beginning of el fin de semana (happy Friday!), I'm graciously sharing my favorite newly discovered tool for surviving life in Santiago when my limited Spanish speaking abilities fail me. Choose one of the 8 million and 5 restaurants that are in this city (I exaggerate a bit, but seriously, they're everywhere!), select a table or even a seat at the bar, and when your server arrives politely say this sentence: Un Pisco Sour, por favor. A lovely concoction looking something like this will soon enter your life:
The Pisco Sour is perhaps the best mixed drink I've ever had in my life. It also happens to be the national drink of Chile. It originated in Peru, although the Chilean recipe is a different variation. In every restaurant I walk past or into, this drink is found in abundance at various tables and at various times of the day. My only caution, they are very tasty, but asking for a second is risky. You might hear patrons using the word "baracha" when discussing you after you've had a second.
My favorite drink too! Libertine makes the best followed by Delicia here in Indy.
ReplyDeleteLet's have one when you guys are back. Or two :-)
I assumed that they could be made somewhere back home, but wasn't sure if they would be good! I am very happy to have you confirm that you also love the drink, and that you approve of the Indianapolis replicas! I would love to get one when we return--but only one, because the second one makes me far too tipsy--yikes!
