Pisco Sour


We think it is unfair not to share Pisco Sour with you. For many ages this national drink of Peru has been enjoyed in Latin countries, but if you want a variation on your mojito or pina colada you should definately try this delicous cocktail. Not as famous in Europe yet, but at least as good...

For 2 Pisco Sours you need:
  • 1 cup of Pisco
  • The juice of 6 lemons (use the green lemons)
  • 2-3 spoons of sugar
  • 10 ice cubes
  • egg white of 1 egg
  • cinamon
Put the pisco in a blender, add 20 ml of lemon juice and the sugar. Add the ice cubes and blend it to a nice mix until the ice is crushed. Now take the egg and separate the eggwhite. Add this to the mix in the blender and blend for another 20 seconds until you get a big foam layer. Now put the Pisco Sours into small glasses and finish with a little bit of cinamon on top. Salud!

Expensive engagements

Often these larger than life personalities get a larger than life engagement ring:

Paris Hilton & Paris Latsis

Paris Hilton’s short-lived engagement was highlighted by the 24-carat emerald cut diamond ring. Latsis thought that when Hilton said "yes," she'd actually marry him and they'd stay together forever and ever. Well, that never happened, they didn't even make it to the planning stages of their wedding. But, thanks to the identically named duo, we had the privilege of being exposed to one of the most amazing rings of our time. The massive white diamond ring was picked out by Hilton herself, designed by a private jeweler and rumored to be at least 23-carats total weight. That's not all, aside from her engagement ring, Hilton also received a 21-carat canary diamond as an "I love you" ring. Oh, the perks of being engaged to a Greek shipping heir.


Anna Kournikova & Enrique Iglesias
Although neither an engagement nor marriage can be confirmed from either, the massive pink stone the Russian tennis star is sporting is worth mentioning. The ring is rumored to be an 11-carat natural pink pear shape diamond.



Milania & Donald Trump
The new Mrs. Trump wears a 12-carat classic emerald cut diamond, with channel set diamonds on each side. Although the ring was rumored to be around $2 million, it's speculated to be valued at a low $480,000. But, when you get married as often as The Donald, you have to cut costs somewhere.



Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck
Despite the eventual cancellation, Jennifer Lopez’s finger sparkled with a 6-carat radiant shaped pink diamond while she was engaged to Ben Affleck, a stone reported to cost more than $3 million.



- Elizabeth Taylor, when engaged to her third husband, Michael Todd, wore a nearly 30carat emerald cut diamond.
- Lady Diana Spencer wore an 18-carat deep blue oval sapphire circled by fourteen diamonds when she promised to become Princess Diana.
- Catherine Zeta-Jones’ nuptial promise to Michael Douglas was sealed with a 10-carat antique horizontal set marquise diamond.
