Pairing Api correctly — a note on singani grape spirit

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Api. I ordered it with singani grape spirit and the subtly spiced elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. chuño freeze-dried potato in particular became more prominent in a good way.

salteñas are distinct from Argentinian empanadas with a juicy broth filling. The an indigenous community festival feast is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Api with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
