Hi paty, Never heard of gin before, que es?
It’s a type of alcohol….it’s great in this drink!
I love your show Pati, especially enjoyed the one with Jose Andres. Gin & tonic is the national drink of Spain and the Coco Fish is basically a version of the gin & tonic and the entomology of the word ‘coco’ is Spanish/Portugese origin meaning grinning face from the dots on the coconut.
Thank you for sharing Ed!
Very refreshing easy to make. Can’t taste the gin, that’s a good thing
Haha…so true Theresa
