Go easy on the bitters and this will be a delicate, aromatic pisco cocktail.

About:

Yet again I must thank drinks historian David Wondrich for unearthing this drink and its history. It was created by a bartender named Jim Maloney and first appeared in his 1903 book How to Mix Drinks. Maloney patented the name 'Bell-Ringers' as referring to cocktails served in glasses rinsed with apricot brandy.
