pisco

Tart but delicate, this unaged brandy cocktail is the signature drink of Peru.

Pisco Sour Recipe

lime juice

simple syrup (see note)

Angostura bitters

Combine pisco, lime, simple syrup, and egg white in a cocktail shaker without ice and seal. Shake vigorously until egg white is foamy, about 10 seconds. Add ice to shaker and shake again very hard until well-chilled, about 10 seconds. Strain into chilled cocktail glass; dash bitters atop the egg-white foam.

For simple syrup: In a jar, combine 1 cup water with 1 cup superfine sugar. Seal jar and shake until sugar is completely dissolved. Keep remainder refrigerated.

I love taking a classic cocktail with a strong connection to its heritage, like Mexico’s Paloma, and combining it with another culture. After spending time in both Mexico and Peru, I thought it would be interesting to substitute pisco for tequila in this delicious drink. The history of the Paloma can be traced to one of the oldest bars in Tequila, Mexico: La Capilla. It is believed to have been created by Don Javier Delgado Corona, the grandson of the original owner of the venue.
