Method

How to make Pini

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Pre-chill a clear V-shaped cocktail glass and reserve exactly one small well-drained cocktail cherry without a pick.

  2. 02

    Measure the pisco, cognac, clear cacao liqueur, and rich simple syrup into a shaker.

  3. 03

    Add the optional chilled water only when using unusually dry ice, then fill the shaker with solid cold ice.

  4. 04

    Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds to give this spirituous mixture the source-specified aeration, chill, and dilution.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled cocktail glass so the clear drink remains free of ice fragments.

  6. 06

    Drop exactly one small cocktail cherry into the bottom of the glass and serve without citrus, chocolate, or another garnish.
