Ingenious New Summer Cocktails

Introducing our new & original cocktail recipes by one of our favorite mixologists Ruffo Bazan, that take advantage of this season's ripest fruits and pair them perfectly with PaQuí's smooth, aromatic flavors.

From the Guava Guapa, that's a little too easy to drink (you'll want to make a pitcher!), to the sophisticated & refreshing Watermelon Basil cocktail, they're sure to become your weekend staples.
