About this Event
Peruvian Pisco takes center stage in this focused masterclass at Bar Allegro, presented by SAPAQ Pisco for Toronto’s cocktail trade and craft community.
Led from behind the bar by Nick Masci, the session explores Pisco as Peru’s native grape spirit—a category shaped by patrimonial grapes, traditional distillation, and pure varietal expression. Through SAPAQ Quebranta and SAPAQ Italia, guests will discover two essential entry points into the spirit: Quebranta’s structure, body, and backbone, alongside Italia’s aromatic, floral elegance.
The masterclass blends category storytelling, live cocktail demonstrations, and practical recipe development for modern menus. Nick will demonstrate how these distinct expressions open up versatile creative paths behind the bar, with an additional look at using Sinsonte as a subtle Peruvian modifier to add spice, depth, and intrigue.
Your ticket includes:
- One Pisco cocktail
- Two Crispy Potato Sticks per guest, served with piquillos, ramp mayonnaise, and Parmesan
Discover Pisco not as a substitute for another spirit, but as its own expressive, versatile category built for the contemporary bar.
