Missing something?
- No Pisco? Use Brandy (Aged, so rounder and less floral)
- No Pisco? Use Cognac (Aged, so rounder and less floral)
- No Pineapple Juice? Use Pineapple (Blend fresh pineapple and strain it; it foams just as well)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lime (Squeeze fresh: 1 lime gives about 25 ml)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lemon Juice (Softer, different aroma)
- No Simple Syrup? Use Rich Simple Syrup (More concentrated, so use less)
