It’s the year of the Fire Rooster, and this drink certainly rings it in with a bang. This invigorating cocktail has a dry heat that matches well with the warmth of the agave from tequila. This citrusy drink is well-balanced and layered, with a spiciness that creeps in more than it kicks. If this is a harbinger of what the New Year will be like, things are looking great for us.
