National Piscola Day is observed in Chile every February 8, celebrating the popular Chilean cocktail made from pisco and a soft drink, most commonly cola. The holiday was established in 2003 by Chilean pisco producers to promote the national spirit. Pisco, a distilled spirit made from fermented grape juice, has origins dating back to the 16th century in the Viceroyalty of Peru, with both Chile and Peru claiming its birthplace. The piscola is known for being inexpensive and easy to prepare, typically made by mixing pisco with cola or other soft drinks over ice, with a traditional ratio of 1:3. This cocktail is a significant part of Chilean culture and is often enjoyed in social settings.
