  • Good & balanced entry-level tequila drink. May appeal to people who don't drink tequila very often.
  • There are seemingly a diverse collection of cocktails with the name 'Matador' and as I was attempting to figure out the history and decipher where each come from, I at least wanted to include what appears to be the first iteration.
