Among generous glass of the national drink, demanded free elections, abolition of conscription road, stopping monumental works, suspension of foreign debt, amnesty, free party games, economic austerity, review of boundary treaties recent dignity of the citizen and respect the judiciary.
It was at their table where they received the news of the fall of the dictator and were in them, which was held with Pisco Sour, the beginning of the government of "Mocho" Sánchez Cerro.
The anecdote is immense, but, while he lived, the "Morris Bar" was paramount about the vicissitudes of national life thanks to the delicious Pisco Sour.
Over the years, and now completely popular, become the flagship drink, echoing a private initiative, the Minister of Production, Eduardo Iriarte Jimenez, with the corresponding Ministerial Resolution, declared on 8 February of each year, "The Pisco Sour Day "nationwide.
This resolution is intended to promote greater consumption of pisco in our country promoting the increased production and exports in the competitive international market.
