ANDINA CELEBRATES NATIONAL PISCO SOUR DAY, SATURDAY, FEB. 6

The Pacific Northwest’s premier Peruvian restaurant toasts to its heritage with Peru’s national beverage and shares beloved Pisco Sour recipe

“Salud!” Be prepared to hear (and give) this toast to good health throughout the day on Saturday while celebrating National Pisco Sour Day. The first Saturday of every February has been declared Dia del Pisco Sour, or National Pisco Sour Day, by the Peruvian National Institute of Culture and since Pisco is such an essential part of Peruvian culture, the day gives nationals and travelers both a chance to proudly celebrate the treasured beverage. The Pisco Sour is one of the most popular drinks served at Andina, resulting in Andina being the largest Pisco consumer in the Pacific Northwest. Andina is proud to offer guests a Pisco Sour with high-quality Pisco imported from Peru, fresh squeezed lime juice, jarabe de goma (simple syrup), egg whites, ice cubes and Amargo de Angostura (bitters), following the classic recipe first created in the 1920’s by the Pisco Sour originators, Mr. Victor Morris and Sr. Mario Bruiget.

Visit Andina this Saturday for a Pisco Sour whether it’s your first time trying the drink, or a lifetime favorite cocktail, there’s nothing like toasting “Salud!” among friends. If you’re unable to make it to the restaurant, the Andina family hopes you’ll try their beloved recipe at home and celebrate with your friends and family.
