History

Originating in Peruvian bullfighting arenas in the 1930s, Sol Y Sombra blends aromatic pisco with tart cassis and refreshing ginger ale. It’s a regional favorite that captures the spirit of lively celebrations and outdoor gatherings. This cocktail offers a delicate balance of fruitiness and effervescence. Appreciated for its bright, pear-flavored character, it’s a perfect choice for festive, sunny afternoons. The drink’s smooth yet vibrant profile refreshes and invigorates.
