Collins co*cktails all follow the same template of ingredients: The first Collins co*cktail documented was the John Collins in the early 1800s, followed by the Tom Collins. Both drinks were gin co*cktails made with different types of gin. The general approach is quite similar to a Gin Fizz, and the ingredients are, in fact, the same. But Collins co*cktails are served and prepared differently. Over the past two centuries, more and more Collins drinks developed, all following the same formula. If you want to know more about this type of classic co*cktail, there's a whole article aboutthe Collins co*cktail category. It goes without saying that this variation of the Pisco Collins also follows the template mentioned above: spirit base, syrup, lemon, and soda. Instead of the classic gin base, we use Pisco and the grapefruit component adds a nice twist to the template. A Collins co*cktail has its own signature glass called Collins glass. This slim and tall glass is ideal to keep the carbonation of the soda water for a longer time. Here's how you make the co*cktail recipe: Pisco is a grape spirit hailing from Peru and Chile and is a sub-type of brandy. It usually tastes fruity and relatively smooth. -Especially when compared to grape spirits like Grappa, which has a strong alcoholic bite. Generally, the alcohol content of most Piscos ranges between 38 and 48%, quite similar to other popular spirit bases for Collins co*cktails. If you want to try Peruvian Pisco, Cuatro Gallos is a brand I can recommend. Alto de Carmen is a great choice for the Pisco Collins when you look for a Chilean Pisco. If you have some spare grapefruits after mixing the Pisco Collins, here are some other drinks you can mix with the bittersweet, pink fruit:Grapefruit Pisco Collins co*cktail
