Foreign Exchange: A Pisco Cocktail

Blyth & Burrows' Foreign Exchange pisco carrot cocktail

Savory, floral, and fizzy.

A salad dressing so delicious that it inspired a cocktail? That’s the story behind this pisco cocktail flavored with a miso carrot cordial. While Blyth & Burrows co-creative director Caleb Landry had dinner at his parents’ house, his father served up a miso carrot dressing with the salad. “I just found that the salty, savory, yet delicately floral profile of the miso paired so nicely with the fresh, semi-sweet carrot and I was hooked,” he says. He worked with co-creative director Adam Sousa to create this fizzy, light cocktail where the savory miso complements the pisco with carrot adding that earthy sweetness.
