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!

La Dorita Coffee Martini
This rich drink will give you and your guests an excuse to linger around the dinner table, known as “sobremesa” in Argentina, sharing stories and enjoying each others company. It is the perfect exclamation point to any soiree. If you want to sleep that night, I suggest using decaf espresso.
