SPANISH GIN & TONIC – OR – VODKA TONIC featuring El Guapo Tonic Syrup.

Product Descritpion from El Guapo: Dubbed the Rolls Royce of Tonic by Neiman Marcus, we created our tonic after thoroughly researching and testing dozens of historical recipes. Our British Colonial Style Tonic is incredibly unique and herbaceous. We grind cinchona bark and create our own quinine in-house before adding fresh citrus and a plethora of spices. Full of fresh, bright citrus and slightly floral notes, our tonic finishes with a lingering but pleasant bitterness.

If you’re a fan of proper Gin & Tonics, this will be your best kept secret. Our formula is highly concentrated, which provides both excellent value and flavor. A bottle provides up to 32 servings.

This product is also available in the Mixology Market! 

El Guapo in a nutshell: We are woman owned and sustainably minded. As a company, we focus on customer service and ingredient sourcing in addition to sustainability. Our bottles are labeled with recycled craft paper, we hand wax each bottle to avoid adding single use tear tape to landfills & exclusively bottle in glass.  Our bitters, syrups and mixers are made with love in the capital of cocktails – New Orleans, Louisiana. All of our products are alcohol free.
