Pisco Rosemary Soda

Pisco is Peruvian grape-based brandy famously associated with the Pisco Sour cocktail. Although delicious, this classic cocktail is made with vigorously shaken egg white and so, while impressive, is not exactly entertainingfriendly. That doesn’t mean you can’t whip up something simple and special using this spirit, tasting delicately of grape and apple. Muddling Pisco with sugar, fresh lime and rosemary creates a zingy-aromatic cocktail base. Then simply top with soda and garnish!

½ lime

1 piece of rosemary, 2 inches (5 cm) 1 tbsp (15 mL) superfine sugar

¾ oz Pisco

Ice

4 to 6 oz club soda

Rosemary sprig, for garnish

1 Add lime, rosemary and sugar to a tall glass. Muddle until sugar is dissolved. Add Pisco and ice. Stir. Add soda and stir. Garnish with rosemary.
