The title was no doubt inspired by War's 1972 hit "The Cisco Kid" and is not to be confused with the creme de cacao cocktail Pisco Kid. The Cloosterbitter acts like a very mild Chartreuse and also as a sweetener to balance the lime juice. If you want to bring this up a notch, add a light dash of Amargo Chuncho bitters. These have a floral note that elevates Pisco sours and adds more dimension here.
