Passport to Chile

A refreshing, easy-drinking riff on a Sour from NYC’s Sweetwater Social The honey syrup bridges the slightly floral pisco and the tart citrus notes from the grapefruit and lime while a dash of hot sauce brings a subtle background spice. This one scales up nicely to a pitcher of drinks for a summer gathering 1.25 oz Pisco (Chilean brandy with some floral and grape notes) 1 oz Fresh Grapefruit Juice .5 oz Fresh Lime Juice .5 oz Honey or Agave Syrup (2 parts honey: 1 part warm water) 1 dash (5-6 drops) Hot Sauce (Tapatio or Cholula are good choices, don’t want anything too heavy on garlic or vinegar notes) Pinch of salt Shake with ice and strain into a chilled double rocks glass with a few ice cubes. Garnish with a grapefruit moon sprinkled with a pinch of flaky salt
