That’s me! Gabi. I’m Ecuadorian American. Chuchaqui Cocktails is currently just me, although that will change, but in the meantime, I’m here to share Latine recipes, cultural context, and twists on US Classics through recipe development, guided spirit tastings, cocktail classes, or hand me the bar and I’ll help support your event. We can chat through any and all of the above.
KIND WORDS.
“We had the absolute pleasure of having Chuchaqui Cocktails at a Holiday Cabaret we hosted back in December. Gabriela was extraordinarily thorough in our communication leading up to the event. She provided exciting and innovative cocktail varieties to choose from and helped us narrow down our menu. She even worked with us to offer an alcohol-free option. The drinks were a SMASH. Our attendees were thrilled and so were we! We can’t wait to hire Chuchaqui Cocktails again!”
“Gabi is creative, professional, and fun to work with! She does an excellent job of understanding your tastes and what cocktail perfectly suits your needs, and makes the entire process so easy. I could never come up with the flavor combinations she thinks of! You can trust her to concoct the cocktail of your dreams.”
