What are you #drinking during the #pandemic? On this #ViernesVegano I'll toast with a #Pisco #Tonic.⁠
.⁠
Did you know tonic water has antimalarial medicinal properties? The quinine in tonic water originally came from the bark of Peru's cinchona tree, aka the #fevertree.⁠
.⁠
A legend tells the story of a duchess that was ill but cured after drinking water infused with quinine. Jesuit priests brought the bark back to Europe and spread the cure.⁠
.⁠
The cinchona tree is so famous in Peru that it's illustrated in the Peruvian flag. Quinine, and tonic water, is just one example of how Peru saved the world. Cheers to that!⁠
.⁠
2 oz. pisco #Quebranta varietal or #Acholado blend⁠
juice from 1/4 #lime⁠
#tonicwater such as @fevertree⁠
ice⁠
pink peppercorns⁠
orange peel⁠
thyme sprig⁠
.⁠
Fill half of a #wine glass with ice. Add pisco and lime juice. Top with tonic water. Stir with a long bar spoon. Garnish with peppercorns, an expressed orange peel, and thyme sprig. ⁠
.⁠
This #cocktail will definitely be in my #vegan #cookbook: #TheVeganPeruvianKitchen.⁠
.⁠
Note: drinking tonic water is not a cure for #covid19⁠

We have been thoroughly enjoying spotlighting #Pisco brands in an effort to #learn and #share more about them.

@pisco1615 elaborates single #varietal piscos (Pisco Puro) from #Quebranta, #Italia, and #Torontel grapes. Those are all blended with #Albilla for their blend (Acholado). All grapes are from their own Pisco Valley #vineyards. .

They also have a line of Mosto Verde Piscos. #MostoVerde is a type of Pisco that is distilled from an interrupted fermentation and literally translates as “unripe” #must, or unready #wine. As a result, there are significant amounts of residual #sugars that once #distilled leave a silky #mouthfeel and luscious fruit flavors. Definitely be on the lookout for these! .

Pisco 1615 #exports to 12 countries worldwide and has become a #bartender favorite.
.
Cheers!

Located in the Pisco Valley of #Ica, where more than 400 years ago Jesuit nuns began cultivating #grapevines. ⁠
.⁠
The name “Pisco 1615,” is significant because it commemorates the year that "The First New Chronicle and Good Government" by the indigenous chronicler, Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala was published, the most extensive manuscript from South America during the colonial period. In it, he mentions the production of grapevines, #wines, and #aguardientes (not yet called Pisco) in the Pisco Valley. ⁠

Process matters. ⁠
.⁠
@piscologiapisco uses craft methods in the vineyards and throughout the Pisco making process. ⁠
.⁠
No industrial #viticulture practices, no fertilizers or excess chemicals are used, and the vines are irrigated by #freshwater runoff from the #Andes. ⁠
.⁠
The #estate-grown grapes are harvested by hand, meaning that each grape that goes into the #Pisco is #hand-selected. ⁠
.⁠
The grapes are pressed by a traditional foot press and a secondary mechanical press to extract every last bit of the sweet #grape juice.⁠
.⁠
The #sugar-rich juice mingles with #native yeasts for a #natural fermentation - a #non-interventionist #wine making process and what producer, Nati Gordillo, considers the truest expression of her vineyards' #terroir.⁠
.⁠
The #Pisco making process completes with a #single-distillation and a minimum of three months #resting in neutral vessels. ⁠
.⁠
The grape skins [pictured] will go back into the #vineyards as compost. ⁠
.⁠
Salud #pisconauts! ⁠
.⁠
Stay tuned for more producer highlights! ⁠

In our continued effort to promote #Pisco, we invite you to get to know the makers and their brands!! ⁠
.⁠
Meet Nati Gordillo, #sommelier, #vigneron, and #distiller of @piscologiapisco. ⁠
.⁠
Nati produces Pisco organoleptically, by using her senses, and vehemently believes in putting #positive #energy into everything that she does. ⁠
.⁠
This year, #PiscoLogia was awarded a Gold medal for its #Quebranta Pisco Puro at the 2020 @wwsawards. It is an immense point of pride for Nati and the rest of the team as it is a reflection of the quality and craftsmanship that goes into the product. ⁠
. ⁠
PiscoLogia is produced and bottled in #Azpitia, #Peru at Nati’s #bodega (distillery) and vineyards, and made from only her own estate-grown grapes. ⁠

Moscatel is the fourth of the four #aromatic grape varietals and the eighth of eight total #grape varietals permitted for use in the elaboration of #Peruvian #Pisco. ⁠
.⁠
#Moscatel is widely believed to be derivative of the Italian Moscato Rosa (#Rosenmuskateller) from the Muscat Rosé á Petit Grains. It presents small berries in tight clusters and has rose-colored skins. ⁠
.⁠
Pisco made from Moscatel has aromas of mandarin, jasmine, and chestnuts and flavors of stonefruit, cinnamon, flowers, and spicy pepper. ⁠
