El Capitán

El Capitán is a Peruvian cocktail made with a combination of Pisco, sweet vermouth, and Angostura bitters. In order to prepare it, all ingredients should be stirred with ice, then strained into a coupe glass. The cocktail is garnished with lemon peel, cherries, or olives.

It is believed that El Capitán dates back to the 1920s, when a combination of Pisco and sweet vermouth was often ordered by army captains, hence the name.
