HELEN ROSNER

This tropical cocktail is made with the colorless South American brandy called pisco. It has a tropical edge thanks to passion fruit and mango, and ends with an unexpected kick: muddled jalapeño lends it some serious fire. Developed by the pisco brand Gran Sierpe, it was served at the 2011 Manhattan Cocktail Classic Gala in New York City.
