The penultimate cocktail of the evening (since the Ramos Gin Fizz took up both of the last cocktail segments at the same time) was a simple Pisco Sour. T'is a classic sour with lime juice utilizing pisco brandy. Pisco is a spirit that I'd love to dedicate an entire episode to exploring. Simply put, pisco is a brandy made from grapes in regions such as Peru and Chile.


To me, this Pisco in particular is a little vinegary and it tastes like something I know (but I can't quite place it, perhaps a vinaigrette of sorts). The drink itself is extremely pleasant with hints of Concord grape. Definitely also reminiscent of those sun-dried raisins from earlier, except much more like the box this time than raisin bran.
