Today I made a variation using Calvados and yellow Chartreuse. This was really good and I suggest to try it. As I played there several times I would like to name this variation "Theatre des Champs Elysees (a great Art Deco building).

We were not so happy with this cocktail. Absinthe is too much overpowering and we found the overall balance not so good.

Today I tried a nice different recipe for serving Pisco Punch straight up, found on the german "Mixology" webpage. You muddle 5 pieces pineapple, add 6 cl Pisco, 1,5 cl Lillet Rouge (or mild red vermouth), 1,5 cl Lime juice, 2 cl Gomme Syrup (or simple syrup), shake it and aromatize and decorate the ready drink with an orange zest. This recipe is worth a try ;-).

Simple and delicious. I suggest to grate the ginger for an even better effect.
