4. 1/4 cup crushed ice
5. 2 ounces Peruvian pisco (1/4 cup)
6. Angostura bitters

Notes

The Pisco Sour, made with a Muscat-grape brandy called pisco, is the national cocktail of Peru. While pisco imports have increased dramatically over the last few years, it might still be difficult to find. If you cannot find pisco, use grappa in its place or substitute white rum or silver tequila.
