Francisca’s joyful spirit made her live each day with enthusiasm. With that same
enthusiasm, she always found a way to get her friends together to share good
moments and create new, flavorful cocktails, without forgetting joy, since for her it
was the recipe to achieve the perfect cocktail!
The adrenaline Francisca felt when being mischievous always accompanied her during
her time as a student at La Universidad del Zulia, where she had a particular tradition
with her friends that consisted of adding rum to the typical Zulian cepillaos without
her teachers knowing it; that’s where the Cepillao’ “El Escondido”, as she called it
among her friends, came from.
In Jardín del Oriente, the first natural monument of Venezuela discovered by the
great botanist Alexander von Humboldt, there was a waterfall called Salto La Paila
that stood out as an attraction and place for Francisca and her friends to relax
during their youth. Almost by mistake, they mixed Rum and Vodka with the
intention of warming themselves up, and to make the taste smoother they
sweetened it up with the only thing they had at hand: condensed milk. The result?
You have to try it!
