The pisco sour was created in 1916 in the Morris Bar,
located on Calle Boza 847 of the shred of the Union. This bar was usually
frequented by intellectuals, artists and politicians of the time. Inspired by
the sour whiskey, the original recipe had mineral water, sugar syrup, lemon
juice and pisco, like a "lemonade pisco", it would have been prepared
by the bartenders Alfonso Bregoye, Graciano Cabrera and Alberto Mezarina.
According to Jose Antonio Schiaffino, in "The Origin of Pisco Sour",
the inventor of the formula was the Californian Victor V. Morris, owner of that
bar.
