Pisco Cup

• Recipe by Nick Fauchald

This cocktail is bright and fruity enough for a summertime aperitif; the floral aromas of the Italia pisco shine through. Making it with a tawny or late-vintage port instead of ruby port will result in a more complex, year-round drink.

Ingredients

1. Ice
2. 1 ounce pisco, preferably Italia
3. 2 ounces ruby port
4. 2 dashes orange bitters
5. 1 orange twist

Directions

1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the pisco, port and bitters and stir briskly for 20 seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with the orange twist.
