Ten Points To Victory
Today’s drink includes some scenery that some of you may recognize— yes, those are Victory Point cards from the modern classic Settlers of Catan (@settlersofcatan). I’m a huge board game nerd (shocking, I know) and love the Settlers series, so I was incredibly excited to create a themed drink using a delicious pisco that goes by the same name. @Catanpisco is Chilean, single grape, double distilled, and is delicious, clean, floral, delicate yet complex, and as good neat as is cocktails. I appreciate them sharing a bottle with me and I’m excited to make some more themed drinks down the road to celebrate the Catan & Catan collaboration!

This cocktail is a pisco Negroni that will please even the pisco and/or Negroni skeptic. It’s light, floral, juicy, with notes of strawberry, rhubarb, and grapefruit. There is bittersweet balance but it’s overall lighter and easier to approach than the classic. It’s a perfect accompaniment to game night or to celebrate victory over your foes.
