Pisco Cocktail Class at Night: Make Pisco Sour & Chilcano

Make two famous Pisco cocktails, taste seven infusions, and finish with shots

A 1-hour hands-on Pisco cocktail class in Pisco where you prepare Pisco Sour and Chilcano de Pisco, explore over 7 different Pisco infusions, and learn the history of Peru's iconic spirit from a specialist guide. The class is 100% participatory, bilingual (English and Spanish), and capped with Pisco shots. Minimum age is 18.

The Experience

You arrive with a free evening and no bartending background—and that's exactly who this class is built for. After a brief introduction, you'll make your first cocktail: a Pisco Sour. The guide walks you through each step, and within 20 minutes you're holding a drink you made yourself. While you taste it, the Pisco specialist talks through the history and culture of Pisco, the spirit that defines Peru's cocktail tradition.

Next comes the Chilcano de Pisco, a lighter, refreshing drink that takes another 15 minutes to prepare. Between the two cocktails, you'll sample over 7 different Pisco infusions—each one a variation on how the spirit can be flavored and served. The tasting is built into the class, so you're not just learning technique; you're discovering what Pisco actually tastes like across its range. The guide handles the explanations; you handle the pouring and mixing.

The class wraps with a round of Pisco shots—a farewell round that sends you out ready for the rest of your evening. Purified water refills are available throughout, and the guide speaks both English and Spanish, so language is not a barrier. The whole thing runs 60 minutes, which means you can book it in an afternoon slot and still have the night ahead.
