Pisco Wrap-Up

Diego Loret de Mola joined us last Thursday in the Mixoloseum chat room to answer more than a handful of questions regarding the different types of pisco and its production. He is knowledgeable on all things pisco and was a delight to have on hand. Drinks were created late into the evening and the offering was gregariously varied – everything from Campari to Chartreuse found its way into the glass, though I think egg emerged as pisco’s best friend for the evening.

A few of us had the pleasure of slinging cocktails live at Embury’s at the Fire House in Pittsburgh, PA. Fred Sarkis was our bartender, and the perfect TDN host. The venue was just right and some of the best drinks of the night came from his willing hands. (This is not skewed by the fact that I didn’t have to make any of them, to be sure.)

The winning cocktail of the evening was created by Blair Reynolds, tiki-freak and up-and-coming bartender.
