We are SO EXCITED to share that we’re featured in the December/January issue of Garden & Gun! You’ll find us in the drinks category of the Made In The South Awards! ✨ Thank you, Wayne Curtis & the entire G&G krewe for such a kind review.

To our restaurant & retail partners, who’ve championed El Guapo from the early days, and to our LOYAL following of home bar enthusiasts: THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. We would not be here without all of you.

Please #shopsmall this holiday season... it’s more important this year than ever before. ♥️
