Gui is an award-winning beverage pro out of Miami and co-founder of Unfiltered Hospitality (check out last week’s guest for the other half of Unfiltered). He is a partner in Chinola Passion Fruit Liqueur and the beverage guy at Baby Jane Cocktail House and Eatery in Miami. In this episode, he walks us through a drink called Sunshine State of Mind, a vodka-based cocktail he created during his time at Broken Shaker in Miami. He’s joined by business partner Ben Potts (who we heard from last week). Enjoy this episode as we go Beyond the Drink… with Gui Jaroschy. (cocktail recipe below)
