Inthis season of holiday parties with much eggnog and other fattening drinks, Iprefer to choose regional cocktails as a combination dessert-drink. One of my go-tos has always been the PiscoSour, a favorite in Peru and Chile. Pisco is the national liquor of Peru, with a National Pisco Day on July21, but there is much debate between Peru and Chile as to which country originatedthe drink.
