. The place was electric—a beautiful mix of locals, tourists, and expats enjoying a fancy night out, all creating an infectious energy that made for an unforgettable experience. The cocktails? Gimmicky in the best way, but absolutely delicious 🍸.
Each drink had its own personality, with flair and charm that set it apart. I managed to snag a front row seat at the bar, and trust me, that’s where the real magic happens 🍹. Watching the bartenders work their craft was mesmerizing—so skillful, effortlessly cool, and engaging with everyone around them. They made the whole experience feel warm, welcoming, and truly unforgettable ✨.
The standout for me was the “TLALOC” 🌶️🍫: a mix of Patrón Blanco Tequila, Montelobos Mezcal, cocoa, tamarillo liqueur, and green pepper chutney. Fresh, herbal, and spicy, it was an experience on its own—a drink that hits every note just right. Sure, at €18 it wasn’t exactly cheap, but it was worth every sip 💸😍. This isn’t a cocktail you’d find every day, which made it all the more memorable.
Paradiso easily lands in my top 5 (my beli ranking is pretty exclusive, trust me 🍸😉). So follow along if you’re up for becoming my
