Grandpa’s Remedy
A cocktail competition based on a serve you’d keep in your hip-flask, only sharing with friends in a small amount, as you know how good it is. It’s been passed down through the family for generations, but now it’s time to share it with the world.
Create an amazing bottled cocktail with Ron Abuelo and you’ll be in with a chance of winning a trip to the Ron Abuelo Distillery in Panama. There might also be a few visits to the beach while you’re there!
Second and third place won’t be disappointed either. You’ll both win a bottle of each of the Ron Abuelo Finish Collection; Tawny, Oloroso and Napoleon.
