Casa Kantuta, run by Bolivian native Carla Sanchez, introduced singani, Bolivia's national liquor, to Washington, D.C., enhancing the drinking scene with a taste of history. This distinctive brandy, made from the muscat of Alexandria grape at high elevations, has roots in 16th-century distilling by Spanish settlers. Despite being lesser-known, establishments like Providencia and the Wolves are contributing to its growing presence in American bars. Sanchez hopes to further popularize singani, ensuring it becomes a staple in cocktail culture.
I hope singani becomes a must-have at more bars in the city. Like any new spirit, it takes time to gain popularity, but momentum is building, and I'm here to make sure it keeps growing.
Singani - Bolivia's national drink - is a type of brandy, made from sweet white grape muscat of Alexandria, and has gained traction in the U.S.
