Andes Verde

A vibrant, refreshing cocktail that fuses Peruvian pisco with the creamy richness of avocado (palta) and the zesty brightness of fresh lime. Notes of mint add a cooling herbal aroma, while a touch of simple syrup balances the tang. This cocktail is silky, unique, and boldly South American—a green-hued celebration of the Andes! Ingredients: 2 oz pisco 1 teaspoon ripe avocado (palta) 1 oz fresh lime juice 0.75 oz simple syrup 4 fresh mint (hierbabuena) leaves Ice Preparation: In a shaker, gently muddle the mint leaves with the lime juice and simple syrup to release the mint oils. Add the pisco and avocado. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until the avocado is fully incorporated and the mixture is well-chilled. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass to ensure smoothness. Garnish with a mint leaf or a thin avocado slice. Glassware: Coupe glass
