Here's To Pisco Sour Day

Despite the icy sidewalks and chilly temps on Monday night, the whir of a blender and the smell of fresh lime juice inside the Embassy of Peru had me daydreaming about balmy tropical locales.
The embassy's bartender, Marcelo Lazaro, was whipping up a batch of Pisco sours for a crowd of onlookers. The event, co-hosted by Macchu Pisco, was in honor of Peru's National Pisco Sour Day, coming up Feb. 6.
After Lazaro demonstrated the classic recipe — a 3:1:1 ratio of Pisco, lime juice and sugar, plus egg whites and Angostura bitters — eight DC bartenders showed off their twists on the cocktail.

With this weekend's snow storm set to blanket DC (again), I highly recommend mixing up a batch for your own toast to Peru's National Pisco Sour Day. I swear it'll make you feel warmer.
