ceviche cocktail drink recipe

If you’re up for the challenge, we’ve got the ultimate ceviche cocktail recipe in honor of Peru’s National Ceviche Day holiday this Friday, June 28th. Get ready to roll up your sleeves and don some liquid nitrogen, because the Porton Tigre ceviche cocktail is not for the faint of heart.

Portón Tigre
By Jorge Velasco
La Pulperia, New York

ceviche cocktail with pisco

Tiger’s Milk (Ceviche marinade)
Dash of Salt
Dash of Pepper
Dash of Sugar
Cilantro
1 part Orange Juice
1 part Lime Juice
1 part Lemon Juice

Mix all ingredients to taste and blend until everything is dissolved well.

Ceviche
½ lb. Scallops
1 part Lime Juice
2 small Tomatillos
1 small Red Onion
¼ part Yellow Chili Pepper
Cilantro
Dash of Salt
Dash of Pepper

In a bowl, mix all ingredients to taste. Slowly integrate the Tiger’s Milk.

Corn Foam
3 Sweet Corn Cobs
1 Part Portón Pisco
Water

1 Liter Siphon Canister
2 N2O Cartridges

Cook the corncobs in medium heat for approximately 20 minutes. Once the corns have cooled, take the kernels off. Put them in the blender with some of the same water that it was cooked in. (Remember this is a purée and not a juice).

Pass the purée through a fine strainer three times until you are left with only a liquid form. (Corn particles may clog the strainer). Put the liquid in the canister and add Portón Pisco; close and load with the two N2O cartridges to cool. Before using, shake very well to obtain a very good mixture.

Sweet Potato Foam
8 Parts Sugar
2 Sweet Potatoes (Yams), sliced
1 Part Portón Pisco
1 Slice of Pineapple, cut in small squares
5 Cloves
3 Cinnamon Sticks

1 Liter Siphon Canister
2 N2O Cartridges

Put all ingredients in a small pan with water and let them cook until the sweet potatoes are soft.

Put the sweet potatoes in a blender with some of the same water it was cooked in; without covering the potatoes. (Remember this is a purée and not a juice). Make sure there are no lumps as they can clog the canister.

Let it cool to room temperature. Put the mixture in the canister and add Portón Pisco; close and load with the two N2O cartridges to cool. Before using, shake very well to obtain a very good mixture.

Pisco Sour Foam
6 parts Portón Pisco
6 parts Fresh Egg Whites
3 parts Gum Syrup
3 parts Fresh Lime Juice

1 Liter Siphon Canister
2 N2O Cartridges

Gum Syrup: heated water with cloves, cinnamon and orange peel. Strain the water and mix 2 portions of sugar for a portion of water. Stir very well to dissolve the sugar completely. Allow to cool.

In the canister, add the Portón, gum syrup, fresh lime juice and egg whites; close and load with the two N2O cartridges to cool. Before using, shake very well to obtain a very good mixture.

Assembling the Portón Tigre
Place a small portion of the ceviche in a cup and add the first layer of corn foam on top. Continue by adding a layer of sweet potato foam and lastly, the pisco sour foam. Adorn with three drops of angostura bitters. Enjoy, you deserve it after all that!

Pisco Portón Events on June 28th

pisco porton distillery

Pisco Porton, the distillery Lanee had the opportunity to visit earlier this year in Ica, Peru, has a dazzling line up of events and drink specials throughout the country at participating bars. With events in Los Angeles, Houston, New Orleans, Washington DC, New York City and many more cities, there’s probably a National Ceviche Day party featuring ceviche cocktails taking place near you. Head HERE for Lanee’s photo gallery of the ancient-meets-high-tech Pisco Porton distillery in Peru’s vineyard country.

Fun Facts About Peruvian Ceviche

  • On March 23, 2004, an official resolution was passed, declaring ceviche as a national, traditional dish of Peru and forever reserving its place as a pillar in Peruvian culture.
  • Four years later in 2008, National Ceviche Day was deemed a national holiday in Peru.
  • There are over 11,000 cevicherias in Lima, Peru alone. My favorite being Chez Wong.
  • Ceviche, which is also spelled seviche or cebiche, depending on which part of South America it comes from. Peruvians usually spell it ‘cebiche’.
  • Despite what mom taught you, it is totally acceptable to pick up the plate and slurp the remaining tiger’s milk (ceviche juice).
  • Tiger’s Milk is hailed as an aphrodisiac and a cure for a hangover.

Ceviche Recipes

Ceviche, seviche or cebiche, however you prefer to spell it, there are many types of ceviche depending on which Latin American country it originates from.

WHO ARE THE VIXENS?

Lanee Lee and Lindsay Taub of Voyage Vixens

Hi! We're Lanee and Lindsay. You may have gotten to this page because you're intrigued by the word "vixens" or maybe you found some of our porn online (#travelporn, that is!). Either way, we are fully aware we are not what you typically think of when you hear the word "vixen", i.e. boobalicious babe wearing skintight minidresses in 6-inch heels. In our book, you don't need DDs to be a VV. To us -- vixens are smart and sassy women (and men, why not?!) who take action, scared sh**less or not, to turn their dreams into realities. Now you know a little about us; we'd like to get to know you. Connect with us on twitter, instagram, google+, pinterest, youtube, Facebook, tumblr, and periscope! (yes, we're on them all...#sorrynotsorry)
