We love tequila, and we love new drinks!
Cheers to our favorite, Liquid Chef Rob Floyd, for introducing us to this Piña en Fuego cocktail recipe! We’re pretty sure any tequila or mezcal-lover is going to enjoy it as much as we did at the Women of Today Vintage Round Top event. A little bit sweet and just the right amount of spicy, this one hits all the right notes! Just be careful not to over-muddle your jalapeño – otherwise, your drink will become bitter. Simply press it until you hear it crunch.
