It’s a point of contention whether pisco’s origins are Chilean or Peruvian, but there’s no doubt that this cocktail can be enjoyed by those on both sides of the argument.
What to buy: Pisco is a brandy distilled from South American white Muscat grapes.
A Boston shaker will help to evenly blend this muddled drink.
Game plan: If you don’t have a Boston shaker, you can use a cocktail shaker and a tall glass, such as a pint glass.

INGREDIENTS
- 2 orange slices, 1/4 inch thick
- 1 lime slice, 1/4 inch thick
- 1 1/2 ounces pisco, such as Bauzá
- 1 ounce orange-flavored liqueur, such as Cointreau
- 2 to 3 dashes orange bitters
- Ice
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place orange and lime slices in a Boston shaker and muddle until the pulp is broken up. Add pisco, orange-flavored liqueur, and bitters and fill the shaker with ice. Pour between the shaker and a glass 2 to 3 times to incorporate all ingredients.
- Pour into a large (8-ounce) rocks glass and serve.
Improvised, using Capel Mango Pisco and substituting oranges with clementines -nice!!!
I'd rather try one of these.
I'd rather have a pina-colada mojito.
