Refresh yourself! These are five Pisco cocktails perfect for this summer

Pisco and its goodness make the heat much more bearable. Try these drinks and enjoy them responsibly and with a lot of Peruvian pride.

The summer heat invites us to cool off and the best option is always our flagship distillate: Pisco. Its aroma, flavor and diversity -with 8 different and unique strains- are perfect for the preparation of fresh, delicious cocktails with a lot of personality. Remember that each variety of Pisco and its nuances has its own characteristics, aromatic, fruity, floral, citric or fresh herbal notes. These preparations bring out the best of our flagship drink.

While there are classics such as Pisco Sour or Algarrobina,  fortunately, the talent of Peruvian bartenders and the great biodiversity of our country allows us to have new preparations and many more options. We bring you some of the most refreshing Pisco-based cocktails for this summer.

CHILCANO

This is undoubtedly the easiest way to enjoy a good Pisco. Just add ice, Ginger Ale and a slice of lemon and you will get a tasty and fresh drink. The classic Chilcano is an excellent vehicle for you to better understand Pisco, its different notes and aromas, and enjoy all its complexity.

TROPICAL PISCO 

This recipe introduces the drink to the warmer flavors of the tropics, combining the purity of the aguardiente with Caribbean fruits such as grapefruit, a fruit with a sweet but slightly acidic taste, which is dominated by the intensity of the Pisco. This cocktail includes mint, Aperol and grapefruit, resulting in a drink with herbal notes, pleasant flavor and aroma.

MACHUPICCHU

This cocktail pays tribute to our world wonder, inspired by the flag of Cusco, which includes the 7 colors of the rainbow. It is made with Pisco, grenadine syrup (red), mint cream (green) and orange juice (orange). It is extremely attractive to the eye and an explosion of flavors on your palate.

SOL Y SOMBRA

It is similar to the Chilcano because it includes Pisco and Ginger Ale, but its true personality comes from the cherry liqueur, which is obtained by macerating this fruit in Pisco. This cocktail was created at the beginning of the 20^th century and has started to gain popularity thanks to the revaluation of Pisco.

PISCO PUNCH

This drink was invented by Duncan Nicol in the Bank Exchange bar, at the end of the 19^th century, in San Francisco (United States). It is refreshing and aromatic. It is prepared with Pisco Italia, gum syrup, pineapple water, lemon juice and pineapple in small pieces. It has a sweet and very pleasant taste.

These are just some of the options to refresh yourself with our flagship distillate this summer. Dare to prepare them at home or order them at your favorite restaurant. Fight off hot weather and enjoy with a lot of Peruvian pride. Cheers with Pisco!
