Recipe from El Guapo:
A tennis ball is sitting at a bar. The bartender says, “Have you been served?”
When I embarked on my mixology adventure two years back, bitters were a complete mystery to me. I used them as directed in recipes, but their impact seemed negligible. This changed when I stumbled upon rave reviews of El Guapo bitters this summer. Intrigued by their Cuban Daze recipe on their website, I improvised with orange bitters as a substitute. The result? A decent drink, albeit a tad too sweet. I ordered El Guapo’s Cuban Bitters 🛟. They transformed the Cuban Daze into an absolute delight—what a game-changer!
