Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

1

Muddle Mint and Sugar

In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves to release their oils, mixing them with the sugar.

2

Add Lime Juice and Pisco

Pour the fresh lime juice and Pisco into the glass or shaker with the muddled mint and sugar. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

3

Add Ice

Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes. If using a shaker, seal it and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the mixture. If using a glass, stir the mixture gently to combine and chill.

4

Strain and Serve

If you used a shaker, strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with fresh ice. If you mixed in a glass, you can serve it directly.

5

Top with Club Soda

Slowly pour the club soda over the drink, allowing it to mix gently with the Pisco mixture without stirring too vigorously.

6

Add Bitters

Add two dashes of bitters on top of the drink for an aromatic finish.

7

Garnish and Enjoy

Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint, and serve immediately. Enjoy your El Peruano!
