Grape brandy is enjoying a serious revival in the US. Tired of waiting for the trend to reach our shores? Here’s where to find it already.

Bedrock Bar & Grill
Look past the cartoon-inspired name and list of choice cuts at this steakhouse and you’ll find Number 11 ($11). A simple but yummy shooter with a Pisco base, there’s also pineapple syrup to be found, spiced with ingredients like cinnamon and star anise, and a splash of Prosecco for good measure.

Brewerkz
Well-known for their extensive list of beers brewed in-house, spirited atmosphere and extensive screening of sports, these folk also do a Pisco cocktail called the Mad Rabbit ($15). With carrot juice, apple liqueur, lemon juice and Pisco (of course), this is a drink that’s made for those with a bit of a sweet tooth.

City Space
A luxe space with a stunning view of the city skyline, City Space also serves up some mean drinks, care of talented cocktail architect Richard Gillam. In addition to the star ingredient, Barsol Quebranta Pisco, Gillam’s rendition of a refreshing Peruvian Pisco sour ($20) calls on lime juice and passion fruit for zing and some fruitiness, finished with a dash of aromatic bitters.
