 In Mexico, singer-songwriter Aleks Syntek controversially posted on Twitter that the pisco sour is Chilean. After receiving critical responses to his statement, Syntek apologized and mentioned he was only joking. Mexican television host and comedian Adal Ramones also joked about pisco sour, in reference to the 2009 Chile – Peru espionage scandal, on November 17, 2009. Ramones, a fan of Peruvian Pisco, when asked about the espionage, asked what Chileans were spying on in Peru, suggesting it might be how to make a pisco sour (in Spanish: "¿ Qué quieren espiar los chilenos? ¿ Cómo hacer pisco sour?").
