Dulce de Leche Fizz
Cream soda is back just in time for summer cocktails, and this one’s for adult’s only.
La Dorita Liqueur Iced Espresso
This cool drink will be a show stopper at your next dinner party. It is the perfect after-dinner drink to sip; just make sure to use decaf espresso or your favorite coffee flavor. It’s also a great way to put a leftover pot of coffee to good use. Instead of pouring it down the drain, grab an empty ice cube tray and create your own DIY coffee ice cubes. As the coffee melts, it creates a luscious layered drink that is a feast for the eyes and palette. The drink will become sweeter as the coffee continues to mix with the liqueur. 
7 shots freshly brewed espresso, or coffee roast of your choice
3.5 ounces La Dorita dulce de leche liqueur
Orange peel, for garnish
Honey tea lollipop spoons (optional)
Brew coffee (we prefer espresso because the bitter roast provides quite a contrast to the sweetness of the liqueur) and set aside to cool. Pour into a mini-cubette ice tray and freeze overnight. Place half of the tray of coffee cubes into a tumbler and pour La Dorita on top. Garnish with orange peel and a honey teaspoon, to further offset the bitterness of the espresso cubes.
La Pulga
Argentina and Germany faced off in the 2014 World Cup final in Río de Janeiro. In honor of the clash of these two giants, we created this refreshing and patriotic cocktail. It’s fashioned after the Argentine flag and named after Argentina’s national captain, Lionel Messi—also known as La Pulga, or, “the little flea that could.” Dulce de leche made headlines in worldwide newspapers at the opening of the games due to Brazilian officials confiscating almost 90 pounds of it from Uruguay’s national soccer team as it arrived in Brazil. Why, you might ask, would a Uruguayan soccer team travel with their own dulce de leche? It’s an everyday flavor they rely on. In the end, Germany won in overtime 1:0, but Argentina gave them quite a fight!

The Blue Moo
Our signature blue moo cocktail is in honor of Lara Wilson Shields from Le-Ara Wilson Farms, located 20 minutes from Pittsburgh in rural western Pennsylvania. Lara is the fifth generation of the Wilson family overseeing this true family-owned-and-operated farm, along with her sister, mother and father. Lara was one of the first people that Gastón and I called when we decided to make, package and sell our dulce de leche. We realized that we needed to source the milk direct from the farm, prior to it being pasteurized. Lara received us with open arms, and was a champion of our dreams. She takes great pride in everything she does, and in turn makes our job a whole lot easier. For this, we toast her!
