El Profesor
Recipe:
- 30ml Pisco
- 15ml Punt E Mes
- 15ml Benedictine D.O.M.
- 2 dashes aromatic bitters
Stir with ice until chilled, strain into a prechilled rock glass (neat), garnish with a lemon zest.
I bookmarked the El Profesor on Frederic Yarm's famous blog Cocktail Virgin ages ago. When I opened a fresh bottle of Punt E Mes this summer and tried out at least 20 new recipes with it, it was finally time to give it a go.
A beautiful, simple, and straightforward pisco drink that also leaves plenty of room for Punt E Mes thanks to the relatively delicate, unaged spirit used as a base. Red fruity, bitter-spicy, oaky, elegant, and best enjoyed without ice as the temperature in the glass slowly rises.
