Calafate Sour
🍹
Photo coming soon
Patagonian legend holds that anyone who eats a calafate berry is destined to return to Patagonia — bars lean into the myth by naming the cocktail after it.
Pisco or gin is shaken with the tart juice of wild calafate berries, lemon, and egg white into a purple-hued sour, poured at bars across Chilean Patagonia. It's a modern drink built entirely around a native shrub berry.
Why it's made this way: Calafate bushes grow wild across the steppe and hillsides of Magallanes, making the berry a distinctly Patagonian ingredient found nowhere else in Chile at this scale.
