Here is part 2 in Castelliano (Castillian Spanish) of this impressive video called "El Pisco Patrimonio Cultural Del Peru - Parte 2" (Peru's Pisco Cultural Heritage).
There is a short interview with restaurateur, Peruvian media mogul, publisher, hotelier, and #1 Latin American celebrity chef Gaston Acurio in Lima, Peru. Gaston is the owner of the five star Astrid y Gaston, La Mar Cebicheria Peruana, Tanta, and other top Peruvian brand restaurants. He currently owns 40+ upscale Peruvian restaurants around the world. He also owns the Mistura Peruvian Cuisine Expo, the largest cuisine expo in all Latin America.
Also in the video is Pedro Schiaffino, one of Peru's top young chefs and the owner of Malabar in San Isidro, Peru. According to this month's Food & Wine Magazine here in the United States, Malabar is the 4th best lounge & bar in the world!
According to Food & Wine Magazine - "the Peruvian Pisco Sour is the most elegant of Latin American drinks. Far superior and more refined than the Cuban Mojito, the Brazilian Caipirinha, and the Californian Margarita. Pisco Sour made with Pisco Peruano and the Limon Peruano, the best lime in the world, has no rival."
The one and only "Coca Sour Peruano" - the mind boggling & sheer ecstasy inducing drink from the ancient Incas the Peruvian Coca Sour made of coca leaves (the raw leaves that is used to make cocaine)!!! This is pure coca leaves not extract or coca infused Pisco.
Picture of the truly unique "Coca Pisco Peruano" at an upscale restaurant in Miraflores, Peru. This drink is illegal in the Unites States and in most countries around the world. But in San Francisco I know a top Peruvian restaurant that serves a Coca infused Pisco Sour! It is much diluted, so it not the same thing. But it is the closes thing you can get to being in Peru.
