Midnight Bodega Run - Pisco

The bodega run that ends in a shaker, not a shopping bag. Midnight Bodega Run is inspired by that late-night stop we all made at some point. Walking in for one thing and leaving with everything you didn't know you needed but were exactly right about wanting. This box is that same impulse, grown up. Created with Gabe Orta -- co-founder of Broken Shaker and one of the most celebrated bartenders in American cocktail culture, earning multiple James Beard Award semifinalist and finalist recognitions for his innovative cocktail programs -- this limited-edition kit includes three original pisco cocktails built from the flavors that lived in that fridge and on that shelf. Grape soda, instant ramen, lychee soda, turned into something you'd actually want to sip slowly. This month's box is all about pisco, a South American brandy distilled from grapes. Two countries make it, Chile and Peru, and they make it very differently. Peruvian pisco can only be distilled once, cannot be aged, and no water can be added after distillation, which is what gives it that intense, aromatic, grape-forward character. Chilean pisco allows multiple distillations, can blend grape varietals, and gives producers more flexibility. This month we're recommending Pisco Control, a Chilean pisco, which is triple distilled to achieve that crystal clear, clean, and smooth finish. If you're an N/A drinker, we recommend a double strength white tea. Inside the box, you'll find house-made syrups, premium ingredients, and step-by-step recipes for 12 bar-quality drinks at home. Flavor highlights include Concord grape, hibiscus, toasted rice, kombu, hojicha, shiitake ginger, lychee, lemongrass, and the kind of late-night depth that only pisco can anchor. This box is a little wild, a little nostalgic, and completely its own thing. It's not nostalgia for nostalgia's sake. It's proof that the best cravings never really go away, they just learn to make a drink. Already a subscriber? Midnight Bodega Run will be your September box.
