I make mine as follows…
50ml Pisco, 25ml simple syrup, 25ml lime juice, 25ml egg whites, 3 cubes of ice. Blend until smooth, pour into a tumbler, add 3 drops of angostura bitters.
It’s moreishly sweet, sour and smooth. A real crowd pleaser. Always works better than shaken varieties I’ve tried.

Try the 3-1-1:
3 oz pisco ( 2 oz non aromatic variety + 1 oz aromatic one i.e. Italia, torontel , etc )
1 oz simple syrup or sugar
1 oz lime juice

Dry shake ( without ice) and then add 5 cube of ice and shake it again …

Thank you for the response Simon! If i could, I would definitely try with Barsol mosto verde. But being a native Swede right now the ones available to me is either Queberanta, Acholado or Torontel, and their all actually priced the same over here, but hopefully I'll get hold of a bottle of mosto verde soon.

That government monopoly system of yours has a lot to answer for! Perhaps something to take home as a travel memento in the future.

I use this recipe, but I shake it instead and I've been using the Barsol Acholado, that works fantastic for this. I also stir the powdered sugar with the rest of the ingredients in the shaker. A new summer favorite! for me, might even beat put the Caipirinha this summer.

It's a tad more expensive but I love the aromatics in a Mosto Verde Italia pisco and Barsol make a fine example. That said, their Acholado is also tasty and works well.

Traditional Recipe with Italia grape… not!
product sponsoring - okay. but please use the correct grapes, not always Italia

Please see the link above to history where I mention my own preference for the more aromatic Italia grape, preferably Mosto Verde Italia, over Quebranta or Acholado. Nothing to do with the sponsorship by Barsol who have most styles.
