Smoky Desert Serenade

A luscious and smoky concoction that takes the classic Tequila Matador to new heights with the addition of sotol, a spirit derived from the desert spoon plant. This cocktail bursts with the zesty tang of lemon and pineapple, complemented by the subtle sweetness of agave syrup. A hint of heat from habanero-infused vodka and a touch of fresh cilantro add an intriguing depth to this vibrant libation.
