EL Coquetelon - PABLO NERUDA'S SPECIALTY COCKTAIL

In Valparaiso we visited La Sebastiana, one of the homes of Chile's legendary Nobel poet-laureate, Pablo Neruda. The home is a masterful example of quirky art deco. With pieces of nautical, industrial, and geometrical elements, it was fully fitting for Valparaiso. The home had five oddly-shaped floors, and the tiny bar is found on the second floor wedged-in next to the dining room.

I'm normally not a fan of guided tours, and this one was particularly soaked in extraneous, uncaptivating information. However, my patience was rewarded when the electronic guide explained Neruda's party hosting prowess and his specialty cocktail, El Coquetelon. As you try this drink, imagine yourself as the toast of Chilean society in the 1960's. 

El Coquetelon

1/2 part Cointreau
1 part cognac
