Tito's Smash Hit
Inspired by a man who was anything but boring, the Tito's Smash Hit is sure to break you out of your normal cocktail routine and really shake things up. Rosco Gordon brought Memphis Blues to record players across the country, breaking up the status quo, breaking through barriers, and introducing a new sound. So, break away from your usual, toss in a few blues, and sip a drink that's doing things differently.
