Pisco: South American Favorite Moves North


 

 
 


Pisco the three-century-old Peruvian grape brandy with a taste similar to tequila is a South American favorite that is gaining popularity in the U.S. Spanish settlers began developing Pisco in the 16th century using grapes grown in southern Peru. Peruvian miners popularized the spirit on the West Coast during the gold rush. One concoction, San Francisco’s ‘Pisco Punch’, gained such fame that it was written about by Mark Twain and Rudyard Kipling. These cocktails featuring Sierpe Pisco were developed by bartenders at three of Miami Beach’s trendiest night clubs.
