  Rounds From Around the World
PERU
Drink:
 pisco
Made from:
 grapes
Invented:
 by 16th-century Spanish conquistadors
Tastes like:
 smooth, sugary reeds
Cocktail:
 pisco sour
Hangover Factor:
 high, particularly at Andean altitudes
Fun Facts:
 Peru and Chile have a nasty, ongoing legal dispute 
over the rights to the “pisco” appellation. Th
 e name means 
“little bird” in Quechua.
BRAZIL

 cachaça
Made from:
 sugarcane juice

 accidentally, by Portuguese settlers, 16th century
Tastes like:
 rum
Cocktail:
 caipirinha, with sugar, crushed lime, and ice
Hangover Factor:
 high if you guzzle, but it’s meant to be 
sipped slowly
Fun Facts:
 Th
  e settlers who inadvertently discovered it by let-
ting their sugarcane juice ferment in the hot sun thought it

 What are you, señor, a city boy?
Hangover Factor:
 low
Fun Facts:
 Th
  e Aztecs used it in religious ceremonies, along

 by Germans
Tastes like:
 honey, candied fruit
Cocktail:
 Nah.

so it’s invariably overpriced.
FINLAND

 fermented blueberries

 as far as anyone can tell, by a mythical Finnish crone
