History

I was looking to make a summer fizz/cooler à la an Aperol Spritz; I had lime and tonic and thought the flavor of the three with Pisco would be great

  • Nice alternative to an aperol spritz.
  • ok but lime peel made it way too bitter even though I had very little pith. Have to use a better peeler I guess.
  • Used Pisco Porton (Peru) and expressed a medium length lime peel. A very smooth and satisfying drink, even in December. Rate: 4.5

Delicious on a hot summer evening! Didn't have grapefruit bitters; orange bitters worked nicely. Thanks for this recipe!
