Rica-Rica Pisco Sour

Versión en español

During our vacation in San Pedro de Atacama, one of the things I tried in different places was the Rica-Rica pisco sour. I love pisco sour; it's the Chilean national drink, and the Rica-Rica gives it a more marked freshness, adding flavors like mint and thyme.

Rica-Rica is an herb native to the Atacama Desert. It is available on Amazon (affiliated link). You can substitute with thyme or enjoy your Pisco sour.

In our house, the bar is my husband's territory. At the most, I open a bottle of champagne ... so this recipe is his.
