COCKTAIL RECIPE
Pisco Punch
Pisco Punch is a fruity and powerful classic cocktail prepared with a combination of pisco, pineapple and citrus flavors. With its tropical character and balanced sweet-sour structure, it is known as a refreshing but effective drink especially preferred on summer evenings.
The story of Pisco Punch begins in the late 19th century in San Francisco, America. This cocktail was popularized by a bartender named Duncan Nicol, who worked at the Bank Exchange Saloon, one of the famous bars of the time. Nicol's Pisco Punch was so famous that long lines of customers would form outside the bar to try it.
One of the most interesting things about the cocktail is that the exact recipe was kept secret for years. Duncan Nicol kept the ingredients of the drink a big secret and therefore many people could not figure out for a long time exactly how the Pisco Punch was prepared. People used to tell me that this cocktail was very refreshing, but had an unexpectedly strong effect.
