About the Pisco Punch
Pisco punch is a refreshing sour-style cocktail made with Pisco brandy as its base. The combination of pineapple juice, lime juice, and sugar syrup creates a tropical citrus character that masks its significant alcohol content.
History
Pisco punch was made famous by Duncan Nicol at the Bank Exchange Saloon in San Francisco in the late 19th century. The cocktail gained worldwide fame through mentions by travelers including Mark Twain and Rudyard Kipling, though the exact recipe was lost when the saloon closed in 1919 during Prohibition.
