Description
Immerse yourself in Peru's cocktail culture with this hands-on Pisco cocktail-making class in the heart of Cusco. Perfect for cocktail enthusiasts and culture lovers alike, this evening experience combines mixology, history, and fun in just one hour.
Your journey begins at 7:00 PM in a welcoming venue in central Cusco. After a brief introduction, dive straight into action by preparing Peru's most famous cocktail: the Pisco Sour. Under the guidance of an expert bartender, learn the perfect balance of Pisco, lime juice, simple syrup, egg white, and Angostura bitters that makes this drink legendary.
