Tre Sorelle

Nonino Tre Sorelle

Alicia Perry qualifies her Tre Sorelle as a “delicate yet revitalizing variation on the Pisco Sour.” To complement the grappa at the heart of L’Aperitivo Nonino, Perry combined it with a moscatel pisco, whose notes of pear, orange blossom and cardamom pair with Nonino’s own floral flavor profile. Its name, “Tre Sorelle,” means “three sisters” in Italian and is a nod to Nonino’s current team of distillers: sisters Cristina, Antonella and Elisabetta. “I wanted to create a cocktail that highlighted the soft citrus and floral notes of the product,” says Perry, “whilst also paying homage to the story behind it.”
