Lilliana was a Peruvian friend of Stephanie Gorenflo, one of our beloved Cuisinettes when La Cuisine was open. Stephanie, who knew a thing or two about quailty cocktails, swore by Liliana’s recipe for a Pisco Sour, and having been disappointed by what was served at $14.00 by mixologists, I will just have the in house bartender make them at home. Lilliana’s recipe is still the best. Ironically it was invented by an American bartender in Lima, Peru in the 1920’s And yes, there is a Chilean version which is also claimed to be the best or the original, but I will just drink Lilliane’s cocktail and let the Peruvians and Chileans fight it out.
