Pisco cocktail packs a punch line

The cocktail, the Peruvian Elder-Sour, is made with a base of Peruvian pisco, an artisanal unaged grape brandy that packs a whole lot of flavor in its punch. It also calls for St. Germain, a French liqueur that’s flavored with elderflower blossoms gathered from the base of the French Alps. The fragrant blossoms must be harvested during a very short period in late spring, thus St. Germain, an intriguing recent addition to cocktailian bartenders’ repertoires, is available only in limited quantities.
