Comments

Very nice, savory/ancho, agave with moderate heat and only mild sweetness. Made per recipe w/ Patron Silver and Hacienda de Chihuahua Reposado Sotol, used my own pomegranate grenadine. I need to make some cocktail onions to go with this since I threw out my old bottle of unpalatably hard store bought cocktail onions--I added a pinch of salt to compensate in the drink which likely augments its savory character.
