In Peru, there's more to cocktails than the beloved pisco sour. So when ThinkFoodGroup cocktail innovator Juan Coronado was researching drinks for China Chilcano in Penn Quarter, he took inspiration from another of the South American country's popular drinks: the Capitan, which he calls "the Peruvian response to the Manhattan." Like the sour, the Capitan is based on pisco, the colorless but potent grape brandy. But in developing something more elegant, Coronado wanted to soften pisco's formidable edges while also finding another source for the sweetness that typically comes from red vermouth and a cherry garnish. He decided to infuse the pisco with dried sour cherries ("guindas") for a week or two, mellowing it and lending a deep red color. With dry white vermouth and a few dashes of bitters, "the combination is killer," he says. |

We drove to the meeting point where we were given our sleeping bag, sleeping mat and our walking poles if we had hired them from G Adventures. We then gave it back to our Porters and just had our day packs and walking poles. The porters carry approximately 22 kilograms, they are apparently weighed at the check points along the trail in the morning, and our guild Fernando also weighed everyones duffle bag before departing the hotel. Years ago the porters used to carry over 22 kilograms, but with the UNESCO involvement in Machu Picchu and general evolution, they now are maxed out at 22 kilos. This was based off the same weight that soldiers in the military here are permitted to carry. |

I ARRIVED to Lima just a few weeks after waking up in my hometown of Boulder, Colorado with a desperate pang in my chest. I had to get out of there. Boulder isn't a small town, but it is small in culture, and I was choking on routine. Twenty four hours later I had a ticket to Peru. It was the largest,and loudest place I'd ever been to, and it was my very first time away from home. I was overwhelmed by the waves of people coming at me, the scent of carmelizing sugar from the churro stands, the chatter flitting past me far too fast to ever decipher. I thought I knew Spanish. I had a lot to learn.
