The classic Cosmopolitan has been recreated with the addition of Pisco, becoming one of the easiest Peruvian cocktails to make at home. This is a great drink to serve with tequeños or any other hors d´oeuvre.
2 ounces Pisco
1¼ ounces lemon juice
1¼ ounces cranberry juice
¾ ounce Cointreau
5 ice cubes
1 Maraschino cherry (optional)
1 lemon slice (optional)
1. Mix the Pisco, lemon juice, cranberry juice, Cointreau, and ice in a cocktail shaker.
2. Shake and serve in a cold glass, garnish with a cherry and lemon slice.
Pisco comes in different types: Quebranta, Italia, Acholado, and Mosto Verde. Quebranta and Acholado are the most neutral of these, so we recommend them when making cocktails. Stronger, more fragrant Piscos will overpower the flavor of most cocktails.
