Whatever You’re Bringing into the New Year, There’s Room for It Here

The new year comes with all kinds of intentions. Dry January, lighter plates, or a carefully chosen cocktail. At Aguardente, we believe the best resolutions leave space for balance and enjoyment. Sip a Mirtilo Soda or Jugo Tropical, and settle in with warm Pão de Queijo or crispy Batatas Fritas. Come as you are, and stay a while.
