 It calls for Pisco, lime juice, egg white and bitters. If you like it sweeter few free to add some simple syrup. Provided what people like, it seems that this version outperforms the Chile's one. Also the history says that an American bartender went to work in Peru, where he managed a club, which was popular for both local and foreigners. He did the initial mix in this place.
