About This Activity

Peru's national cocktail — pisco brandy, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, egg white, and Angostura bitters — is best understood by making it yourself. Masterclasses in Miraflores run 45–90 minutes and cost $25–59 per person, covering the spirit's history (including the spicy Chile vs. Peru provenance debate), proper technique, and variations like the maracuyá (passion fruit) sour. Classes typically include 2–3 cocktails; affordable standalone classes start at $25 USD.

Seasonal note: Year-round; classes run Mon–Fri from Miraflores venues with afternoon start times. Book 1–2 days ahead.
