History & Origin

The Collins family—defined by spirit, citrus, sweetener, and soda water—provides an accessible template for any base spirit. The Pisco Collins applies this formula to South America's signature grape brandy, creating a drink lighter than the egg white-enriched Pisco Sour. While not as famous as its foamy cousin, the Pisco Collins offers an easier-drinking option that still highlights pisco's floral character. The effervescence makes it particularly suited to outdoor gatherings.
