Hot Sauce: Crenshaw's C6 Tequila Lime
Pairing: VOX Paloma with mezcal
"The sweetness of the cocktail helps to calm down the heat, while the bubbles and citrus accentuate the flavors in the salsa. The mezcal and tequila accompany the flavors perfectly."
Recipe:
1 oz. Altos tequila
1 oz. El Silencio mezcal
½ oz. lime juice
¾ oz. Rio Star grapefruit juice
¾ oz. simple syrup
2 oz. of Topo Chico
Collins glass. Garnish with lime wheel.
