@walterbays Chicha isn't liquor, it's just a sweet drink made of corn, you may be thinking of Pisco? That's brandy though.
It's funny we live about ten blocks from the Larco museum/restaurant and have never been there, will have to rectify that soon.
@Charles_Hawtrey Yes I got my drinks confused. I had a fair number of pisco sours, and tasted chicha once. I did want to mention that possibility here, as I came away from that chilling artifact certain it had been used for drinking the blood of human sacrifices, but cannot now find substantiation for that being the only use.
@walterbays
Chicha is very common here and is the stock drink in most of the cheaper restaurants, it grew on me like other things did here.
