Peruvian Negroni
A twist on the classic Negroni, the Peruvian Negroni swaps out the traditional gin for Pisco, a Peruvian grape brandy, adding a unique South American flavor to this beloved cocktail.

Instructions

Notes
The Pisco used should be of good quality to ensure the best flavor profile for the Peruvian Negroni. Additionally, while the classic Negroni is garnished with an orange slice, the zest twist is preferred here to accentuate the Peruvian Pisco's floral notes.
