Mixtape

Another one suggested is the Clover Club, with Apóstoles Rosa Mosqueta gin, raspberries and lime, a pop version that becomes a caress on the palate. And another one worth trying is the Vieux Carré, an old classic created in New Orleans, recommended for Old Fashioned lovers, with wild turkey bourbon, cognac, red vermouth, angostura bitters, Peychaud’s bitters and spiced honey. All can be accompanied with the Japanese-style tapas with Argentine touches that the menu has, such as cornalitos or salchiparri baos, hakusai fritters or prawn skewers.
