Brandy · Highball
Peru's daily pisco highball — pisco with ginger ale, lime, and Angostura. Simpler than the sour, more Lima afternoons than Sunday brunch.

Pro Tips
- A quebranta pisco has more body for this than an italia; save italia for Pisco Sours.
- Fever-Tree ginger ale, not ginger beer — ginger beer is too heavy here.
- Sipped through the afternoon in Lima, not shot; the whole point is the pacing.
