Notes
Pisco Portón is a brand widely available in the U.S. market. We enjoyed the Biondi that we picked up in Cuzco.
Amount of ginger ale varies according to glass size. It could be up to 3 ounces, but I wouldn't pour more than that. My highball glasses are 10 ounces. I top it with about 2 ounces of ginger ale.
