Menu Description: "Our version of the 150-year-old classic with Pisco and pineapple juice. Served on the rocks."

If you aren't familiar with this drink, you soon will be. I predict that we'll see variations of the pisco sour added to an increasing number of chain restaurant menus in the coming years, similar to growth in popularity of the mojito. Pisco is a South American grape brandy produced in Peru and Chile; and both countries claim to have invented the original version of this cocktail which is made with pisco, simple syrup, lime juice, egg white and bitters. You could say it's South America's margarita. Cheesecake Factory, however, has added other juices, plus sweet-and-sour to the mix, and swapped out the egg white for Frothee (look for this drink-foaming ingredient at liquor stores and bar supply outlets). Shake up all the ingredients with flair until foamy and pour the drink into a wine glass or martini glass to serve.
