I just love a good cocktail recipe. With the right combination of ingredients, and cocktail can take me back to some of my favorite memories from my travels around Latin America.
Like drinking coquitos at sunset in Puerto Rico.
Or watching my daughter take her first steps in the Dominican Republic while sipping rum and Coke.
What about dancing literally all night at La Rumba in Denver while drinking mojitos?
And of course, every sunset under the sun while drinking ice cold Imperial in Costa Rica.
All this to say- I love a great cocktail. For this post, I asked some of my favorite Latin recipe bloggers to show me their best Latin cocktail recipes- and they showed out.
