Sibling Rivalry: The Story of Pisco (Part 1) - With Diana Delgado Cornejo

This week, we are joined by the wonderful Diana Delgado Cornejo to talk about pisco! We talk about the still highly disputed origins of the spirit, Jesuits, the not so hotly disputed origins of the Pisco Sour, and much more in this first part of our discussion!

Cocktail Discussed:

Humbolt Sour

1 1/2 oz. Viñas de Oro Pisco Puro Quebranta

3/4 oz. Schlichte Steinhagen

1/4 oz. Blandy's 5 Years Old Malmsey Madeira

1 oz, fresh lemon juice

1 egg white

Three dashes Angostura bitters

Combine all ingredients save the bitters in a cocktail shaker, and dry shake for around thirty seconds. Add ice, and shake for 15 - 20 seconds, or until frost forms on the outside of the shaker. Strain into a coupe glass, and dash the bitters across the top.
