Cocktail Spotlight 5-3-2021

Pisco tastes like grapes because it’s a grape brandy (grape juice ferments to make wine, then the wine is distilled to make pisco). There are more than 15 pounds of grapes in every bottle of regular pisco and 33 pounds in a bottle of mosto verde.

The origin and author is unknown, however, it has been consumed since the early 1900’s.

Some believe it is the result of adapting the classic Gin & Ginger Ale cocktails recipes to be made with Pisco.

The reason why many think the cocktail was given such a name is that it's the same name that was given to a famous fish broth from the Port of Callao, Peru, which was traditionally consumed the “morning after” to restore health and vitality to the body.
