The pomace brandy called Pisco — a distillate cooked off fermented grape stems, skins and seeds — from Peru and Chile is a growing favorite on the cocktail spirits list. There are a number of bars across the country focusing on Pisco, shaking and stirring it into customer delights. We’re adding our effort to the list with this combination of Pisco and the herbal Galliano liqueur.
