It has been five years since the Peruvian
cocktail, Chilcano, was distinguished for the first time with a whole week of
celebrations on its honor. This year, Chilcano’s Week, will be celebrated from
January 10th to January 19th under the motto, ‘Learn
about pisco, learn about Peru.’
Chilcano’s Week begins this January 9th
with an inaugural tour featuring an imaginary journey over the five regions
where pisco is produced: Arequipa, Ica, Lima, Moquegua, and Tacna.
If you are lucky to have a bottle of the Peruvian brandy,
pisco, you may want to try making a Chilcano at home; the following is the
traditional recipe:
INGREDIENTS:
Ice cubes
2 oz. of Pisco
2 drops of Angostura Bitter
¼ oz. of lime juice
2 slices of lime
Ginger Ale
METHOD: Mix pisco, 1 slice of lime, and lime juice, in a
long glass. And then, add ice and top with ginger ale.
GARNISHMENT: 2 drops of Angostura Aromatic Bitter, and 1
slice of lime on the edge of the glass.
