Peruvian Pisco Crush

If you are looking for reasons to buy unusual liqueurs to add to your collection, I can help. Sure, it’s true that six months down the line when you’ve moved on to other cocktails requiring different unusual liqueurs, you’ll be saying to yourself, “hmmmm.... Cocchi Americano Rosa...what do I do with that???” But still— what a collection you’ll have!

2 Luxardo cherries
Mint leaves
1 oz. Cocchi Americano Rosa
1 oz. Pisco
1 oz. hibiscus liqueur
1/2 oz. lime juice
Crushed ice

Muddle the cherries with a mint leaf in a cocktail shaker; add the liquors and lime juice along with regular ice and shake for 30 seconds. Strain into a Collins glass filled with crushed ice and garnish with a mint leaf —and if you’re feeling generous an additional Luxardo cherry.
Makes one drink.
