A lightly sparkling cocktail of Peruvian pisco, pineapple-infused gum syrup, lemon and a touch of cold water. The defining Gold Rush-era San Francisco drink.
Pisco Punch was made famous at the Bank Exchange Saloon at Montgomery and Washington from the 1860s through Prohibition, under bartender Duncan Nicol who closed the recipe to the grave. Rudyard Kipling drank it in 1889 and wrote it tasted of clouds. Modern bars reconstructed the formula using period accounts; Comstock Saloon in North Beach pours the canonical contemporary version, and most San Francisco classic-cocktail bars now feature it.
