Notes
- Tequila - Some will say you do not use high end tequila, but it's what I prefer. Use whatever type of tequila you like to drink.
- Liquor Substitution - If you don’t have Cointreau on hand (an Orange liqueur) you can use triple sec.
- Spicy - Make it spicy by muddling a few slices of jalapeño with the tequila.
