“If my first love were a cocktail, it would be a Soul of Gin”
My first love is related to this cocktail: a cocktail of strawberries and mint with a sweet and refreshing taste, and pink as the phrase that says “When you are in love you see all rose”.
My first love was on a trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, she had a lot of energy and was sweet to me, it was a beautiful experience, surrounded by the sea and the sun, you could feel the breeze slowly hitting the soul and that made me feel safe. I wanted to capture that feeling in this cocktail; something sweet that will remind me of that summer and the sunsets next to it. The name of this cocktail represents the part of my soul that stayed with my first love.
