Story behind this year's winning cocktail and its creator:
My name is Isabel Resch and I am Mexican on my mother's side. When I was younger my mom would send us to spend the summers with my grandparents in Acapulco, Mx. My grandma and I would go the market in the morning and then have coffee together. Mine was café con leche, but she always added some Abuelita chocolate to mine.
I have younger cousins who did not get to know my grandparents. When we get together, we always enjoy Carajillo's as our after dinner drink. Carajillo is a Latin drink that is Brazilian rum and cortee based. I have combined my past memories with my grandmother and my current life into the Café Royal to combine two generations into one cocktail.
