BarSol Chilcano
A classic and extremely popular Peruvian cocktail.
The origin and author is unknown, however, it has been consumed since the early 1900’s.
Some believe it is the result of adapting the classic Gin Buck or Gin & Ginger Ale cocktails recipes to be made with Pisco.
Others believe it was an adaptation of the cocktail called Buon Giorno, brought by the Italian immigrants to Peru, in which they mixed Grappa and Ginger Ale. At any rate, it became a very refreshing and popular “restoring” cocktail, especially the “morning after” heavy drinking.
The reason why many think the cocktail was given such a name is that it's the same name that was given to a famous fish broth from the Port of Callao, Peru, which was traditionally consumed the “morning after” to restore heath and vitality to the body.
