HELEN ROSNER

This tropical cocktail is made with the colorless South American brandy called pisco. It has a tropical edge thanks to passion fruit and mango, and ends with an unexpected kick: muddled jalapeño lends it some serious fire. Developed by the pisco brand Gran Sierpe, it was served at the 2011 Manhattan Cocktail Classic Gala in New York City.

Ingredients

  • ¼ inch slice jalapeño
  • 2 basil leaves
  • 2 oz. Pisco, like Gran Sierpe
  • 1 oz. passion fruit puree
  • ½ oz. mango puree
  • ¾ oz. fresh lime juice, from half a lime
  • ¾ oz. agave syrup

Instructions
