Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Prepare glass

    Select a highball or Collins glass (10–12 oz). Fill the glass with ice about three-quarters full to chill.

  2. 2

    Add base ingredients

    Pour 2 oz pisco over the ice, then add 0.5 oz fresh lime juice.

  3. 3

    Add bitters

    Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters directly into the glass.

  4. 4

    Top with ginger soda

    Slowly top with about 4 oz ginger ale (or ginger beer if you prefer a spicier, less sweet drink). Pour gently to preserve carbonation and avoid overflow.

  5. 5

    Stir gently

    Use a bar spoon to gently stir 4–6 slow rotations to combine ingredients without flattening the ginger soda.

  6. 6

    Garnish and serve

    Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and an optional thin slice of fresh ginger slid inside the glass. Serve immediately.
