Look at this cute, little innocuous drink, it is the pisco sour. I downed one of these Peruvian cocktails at Moonstones over the wkend and capped my staycation summer w/ perfection. I had heard of the jet-setting drink when a globe-trotting friend raved of its infectious powers after a trip to Argentina. But I've never had the fortune to come face to face w/ the libation. Leave it to the global chill of M-stones in Chelmsford to deliver this multi-culti beverage to the 495 belt. Made w/ grape liquor, egg whites, bitters and perhaps one other ingredient Im forgetting, the pisco sour tastes like the foam on a latte, minus the winey pull of espresso, set on a subtle tropical sea. Bitters, an English cooking sauce, is known to aid digestion. We paired ours w/ the Joe burger and the Asian 5-spice rib sm. plate. This is the first red-blooded meat I've had since an unfortunate incident at U-burger three weeks back. Made us feel excellent. Because it was a quite Saturday night (everyone was jammed in tight spaces at the beach) the bartender gave her full attention to our piscos and it showed.
Centro in Lowell celebrates its two year anniversary w/ a complimentary wine tasting tomorrow night from 7 to 9 p.m. Go for the well wishing, stay for the paella (10 percent off all food).
Hey GG
Thanks for finding our Pisco Sour. We do try to bring global influence to moonstones and sometimes we hit! This drink was brought to us by bar star Joey Seidler, who came from Eastern Standard in Boston. Alas, Chelmsford proved not quite hoppin enough for Joey and he's back in Beantown. (He heard there were Rocker's in Chelmsford and didn't realize we were talking chairs!) At least he left a legacy. See you at Major Jamn' I hope!
