On the Lower East Side of Manhattan, NYC, there's a great restaurant with stunning cocktails. "
Macondo brings Latino comida de la calle (Latin street food) to the gourmet level with a menu offering seven different signature items representative of cuisines from all over the Spanish-speaking world. It serves arepas from Venezuela, cocas from Barcelona, churros con chocolate from Spain, and tacos from Mexico and features a Brazilian Juice Bar with freshly-squeezed extracts."
In short, it is amazing.
The
Guava + Whiskey cocktail was the first Macondo cocktail that I tried. I loved it so much that I decided to make it into an shaved iced dessert.
I added some strawberry for color and lemon to bring out the flavors. On a hot day after a long day of work, this can really transport you back to your imaginary vacation.
