Happy World Cocktail Day 🌼🍸
Here’s the pro @agodragos adding his twist to a Collins.
Part of the Sour family, the Collins is traditionally made with gin, lemon, sugar syrup and soda – but there are endless ways to reimagine it. Ago’s version uses Pisco, a South American spirit distilled from grape juice, for a lighter, more floral flavour profile.
And to top it off? Spraying a few drops of Angostura bitters, pineapple and chrysanthemum flower. More aroma. A perfect foam.
