Description: With its popularity dating back to the 1920s, the invention of the pisco sour is often credited to an unlikely figure – American bartender Victor Vaughen Morris. Morris moved to Peru, following wealthy Utah resident A.W. McCune to the country after he facilitated a mining contract in the Andes. Morris opened a bar and ran out of whiskey during an event celebrating the completion of a railway. To save the celebration, Morris improvised a new drink using Peru’s signature spirit. The libation includes Macchu Pisco, lime, simple syrup and egg whites garnished with a lime wheel.

ABOUT THE UNDERGROUND
The Underground is an immersive Prohibition history exhibition featuring a speakeasy, distillery and private VIP room in the basement of The Mob Museum, the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement. Artifacts from the 1920s and 1930s tell the intriguing story of the Prohibition era, which not only saw a proliferation of bootlegged booze and the meteoric growth of organized crime outfits but also had a profound, lasting impact on society, specifically making way for modern cocktail culture. A seasonal cocktail menu gives guests the opportunity to try contemporary takes on classic Prohibition-era cocktails. The menu and atmosphere have landed the speakeasy on several “best cocktail bars in Las Vegas” lists. Distillery tastings allow participants to learn about Prohibition and its impact on a variety of spirits and drinking habits while tasting a few of the Museum’s moonshines. The distilling program has received numerous accolades, including “Best Moonshine” at the 2020 International Whiskey Competition, “Best in Class” and “Gold” and “Silver Medals” at the 2024 American Distilling Institute’s International Spirits Competition and “Gold” and “Silver Medals” at the 2022, 2023 and 2024 California Craft Spirits Competition.
