It works. It's not clashing. I gave it 4 because I like cola and I like pisco. It really doesn't feel like the best use of pisco by far, though.

This was very good. Not a big Pisco drinker, but it went wonderfully with a cool luncheon on a warm day.
Being a big rum drinker - I will probably stick with Cuba Libra.

Hi, I recently tried with lime bitters, and a bit of lime juice, and the result is really interesting. I knbow it's not really a piscola anymore with this result, maybe i could rename it the Vincecola hahaha.

The Chilean Piscola originally doesn't include Angostura bitters as it will reduce its characteristic freshness; just Pisco, Cola and Ice (although some enjoy it with a lemon wedge/juice). It is very popular in Chile and not so much in Peru because of different characteristics of the distillation of the spirits. This makes the taste of Chilean Pisco more subtle, blending better with the sweet taste of the Cola (In contrast, its taste can dilute in the sweetness and acidity of a Pisco Sour).

I used Capel Pisco 35 especial (yellow color), it's not too bad. I will give a try once with the normal pisco

Fruity, yet balanced and well-weighted with just enough spirituous bite. Rum acts as a base while gin lightens and lifts.
