PREMIUM LAGER

5.5 BLONDE ALE

5.5 Colada Santa Lucía

18 DIPLOMÁTICO PLANAS RUM, COCONUT CREAM, PINEAPPLE JUICE AND COCONUT SHAVES.

Francisca always enjoyed a traditional Piña Colada on her beach days, but nothing compared to the coladas Teresa used to prepare on the shore of Santa Lucia in Cuba. Both developed a lovely friendship, and she learned the original recipe from her.

Cepilla’o El Escondido

18 DIPLOMÁTICO PLANAS RUM, MARACUYÁ REDUCTION AND WHIPPED CREAM.

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.

Francisca’s Old Fashioned

18 DIPLOMÁTICO RESERVA EXCLUSIVA RUM WITH ORANGE REDUCTION.

At the end of a long workday at her poultry house, if there was something to celebrate, what made Francisca happiest was sharing a delicious Venezuelan rum with her workers. “Because, who said that achievements can only be celebrated with champagne?” she used to say, laughing.

Diplomático Spritz

18 DIPLOMÁTICO MANTUANO RUM, APEROL ORANGE RINGS AND CLUB SODA.

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!

La Paila

18 DIPLOMÁTICO PLANAS RUM WITH VODKA, CONDENSED MILK AND LIME TWIST.

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!
