Celebrate Peru’s Independence across all venues with a classic Pisco Sour!
Born in the sun-soaked vineyards of Ica in the late 1500s, Pisco originated when Spanish Jesuits gave leftover grapes to locals, who crafted a unique grape liquor originally known as aguardiente (fire water).
The clear brandy-like grape liquor was later named after the bustling port town where it was popularised by sea trade, the town of Pisco
Generations later General José de San Martín and the Liberating Expedition of the South landed at the port of Pisco in 1820. Marking the beginning of the military campaign to liberate Peru from Spanish colonial rule with independence declared on July 28, 1821.
