I have been researching pisco recipes, so try these:

Algarrobina

Aka. Carob Cocktail

2 shots pisco brandy
½ shot algarrobina*
2 shots cream/ milk
½ shot sugar syrup (optional)
1 egg yolk

Shake with ice, then strain to ice filled whisky glass. Garnish with ground cinnamon.

*Algarrobina is a syrup made from the beans of the Algarrobo tree (Prosopis pallida). If you do not have Algarrobina, then try using Carob syrup (its exactly the same).

Pisco Punch

Created by Duncan Nichol

2 shots Pisco
½ shot fresh lime juice
½ shot pineapple juice
soda water

Stir with ice, and strain into a chilled wine glass, which may be filled with ice cubes (this is optional). Top with soda water and garnish with a wedge of pineapple.

In some parts of America, the Pisco Sour is called a ’Pisco Punch’.

Hope that helps! cheers!
