Peru and Chile fiercely contest the origin of this drink, but I was first introduced to it during my visit to Peru in 2014. Pisco, a brandy produced from distilled fermented grapes in the winemaking regions of Chile and Peru, is at the base of this drink. This recipe uses an easy-to-remember 2-1-1 ratio that ensures a balance between all the ingredients.
Safety Note: This recipe uses raw egg whites, and those with a compromised immune system should be cautious before proceeding. You can pasteurize the egg whites by putting them in a 131°F sous vide bath for 2 hours.

Breville Citrus Press BCP600SIL, Silver
Best Electric Citrus Juicer
The Breville Citrus Press
My favourite electric citrus juicer. Sure, a manual juicer will be enough to brighten up a dish with a splash of lemon juice, but if you want a tall glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, you wll need something much faster. You will be amazed at how quick this juicer can go through a bag of oranges.
