Tips:

  • Pisco is a grape-based brandy that originates from Peru or Chile. Look for a quality pisco brand to ensure the best flavor for your cocktail.

  • If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can adjust the amount of simple syrup to your liking.

  • Don't skip the dry shake step. It might seem unconventional, but it creates a luscious texture and enhances the overall experience of the cocktail.

  • Experiment with different garnishes like a sprig of fresh mint or a dehydrated citrus slice to personalize your Blood Orange Pisco Sour.
