Happy Birthday Peru!!!

Today's Peru's Independence Day and we're celebrating our country's 184th birthday! A holiday, a military parade, the yearly president's speech and the official acknowledgement by the World Intellectual Property Organization (part of the UN) of Pisco as a Peruvian Geographical Denomination or "Appellation of Origin" (read an automatic translation of the news here) are the highlights these days. We're so happy about WIPO's decision, that the Main Fountain (on the Main Square in Lima) was filled with 2,000 liters of Pisco for everyone to enjoy it!

If you happen to have a Pisco bottle offhand, don't hesitate and try it, either straight (without even ice, as the purists proclaim it should be drunk), or on any of these recipes.

Enjoy a good Pisco and shout aloud "Happy Birthday Peru!"

Kampai!!!

  • Gianni.. you forgot to mention that “pedestrians” in Lima's main square were veeeeeeeery happy and that total vanishing was just a matter of a couple of hours... and it was not because of self evaporation !!! :-)

  • Acually the pedestrians who happened to be close to the Main Square were happier AFTER drinking the fountain than before...

    And yes, of course! Could anybody on his/her five senses let a Pisco Fountain intact for more than two hours??? Impossible! With Pisco, that's just impossible.

    Kampai!
