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.
