Review

This cocktail is named after the founder of Ghirardelli Chocolate Company, Domingo Ghirardelli, an Italian-born man who moved to Peru and ran a successful confectionery business and, following the gold rush, ultimately ended up in San Francisco. He went on to found Ghirardely & Girard (later changed to the Ghirardelli Chocolate Company), which has been in continuous operation since 1852. In his own way, Ghirardelli helped build and shape San Francisco, and his company has become synonymous with the city. Ghirardelli Square, which his company-built, has been an official city landmark since 1965.

A very delicious and refreshing long drink for a blisteringly hot summer day. I was worried the fragrance and delicateness of the pisco (which I recently fell in love with) would be smashed over the head by campari but it's not at all.

This has long been one of my favorite cocktails but with two alterations. #1: Serve without ice in a chilled coupe. #2: Skip the soda. I've enjoyed this with Barsol's Quebranta. Some say it has a chocolatey flavor. I say peanut. Just made it with a Chilean pisco. Miguel Torres' El Gobernador. Made with Moscatel grapes and pot distilled. Delicious.

I have been searching for a cocktail that uses both Pisco and Campari and think I'll have to try this one since I love both AND love Benedictine. My question is have you ever tried with blanc or dry vermouth? I feel like this bad boy is going to be too sweet. In the end I'll just have to try it both ways.

Greetings Brian. To answer your question, I have not tried blanc or dry vermouth in this cocktail. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. The reply email landed in my spam folder. I suspect the blanc vermouth may taste sweeter than the rosso. I'm out of pisco or I would try the dry tonight. Cheers.
