Say hello to Orasella’s first pisco-based cocktail. I have to admit, for someone whose experience with pisco has been somewhat one dimensional, this cocktail, crafted by Seattle bartender, Sean deAnda, has taught me to see the spirit in a completely different light. This cocktail has some deeper notes - cherry, citrus, floral and a slight bitterness at the finish. It’s delicious and the perfect transition from winter to spring.
I must admit, in the process of learning about the versatility of pisco, there may have been more than a few of these consumed in the name of getting the “right shot”. Cheers, friends!
Orasella’s The Deeper Note
Serves 1
.75 oz Pisco
.5 oz Amaro Albano (available at BevMo)
.5 oz cassis or black currant liqueur
.5 oz Orasella cherry syrup
.75 oz lime juice
3 droppers Mole bitters (like Bittermens)
Combine all ingredients into a cocktail shaker. Add a generous amount of ice and shake with great intent to break up all the ice.
No straining necessary! Just dump all contents into your rocks glass of choice. Garnish with lime wheels and Orasella cherries.
