· Pisco is the native spirit of Peru and Chile. It is made from grapes, so can be considered a Brandy. It is usually, but not always, a clear (un-aged) spirit.
· We will learn all about it with Kappa Pisco Brand Ambasador Anne-Louise Marquis. We spoke to Anne-Louise in episode #121 about Grand Marnier.
· Cocktail of the week is Pisco sour. I followed the recipe on kappapisco.com:
o 2 oz Kappa Pisco
o 1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice, (I used 1 1/4 oz)
o 1 oz Simple Syrup, (I used 3/4 oz)
o 1 Egg White
o Shake vigorously with ice
o Strain into a chilled coup glass (or they suggest a champagne flute).
o Top with a few drops of Angostura bitters for decoration (and taste).
