Consider this: coca is not the same as cocaine. The coca is a plant that plays an important role in traditional Andean culture. The coca leaves, when they’re chewed by the andean people, act as a mild stimulant and supress hunger, thirst, pain and fatigue. And it’s not recent: traces of coca have been found in mummies dating 3000 years ago, when it was viewed as having a divin origin. Is it ok? good. If you have traveled to Peru and have some coca leaves, you can prepare this traditional liquor. The recipe is for 8 people.
This drink is totally different to the anisette, but it’s very good too. Usually it’s served after the meals (specially if it was a heavy one) because the aniseeds have digestive properties.

This is an old, old recipe. A lot of years ago, this was an obliged drink every August 30th – the Santa Rosa de Lima feast.

With this recipe you’ll get enough roses lemonade for 4 people (and yes, it’s a bad photoshop work

Sometimes the good things aren’t immediate and take their time. This is the case of the sour cherry liquor: we have to let the nature make its job, waiting for a month to get an excellent drink. You’ll only need a good pisco, ground cloves, powdered cinnamon, sour cherries (of course) and… patience. If there is some special date approaching, you’re in time to celebrate it with this delicious liquor.
