Could this be the best cocktail recipe name? Whatever the case, it's gotta be up there!
This cocktail calls for tequila, and here we highly recommend using an affordable, high-quality bottle like Lalo. Lalo Tequila is an emerging brand that has caught the attention of a lot of tequila lovers, for it's pure flavor, interesting pedigree, and attractive price-quality ratio.
There are two tasty and very easy to make "extra" ingredients that create the amazing depth of flavor that this cocktail achieves. Both pair very well with the agave notes of tequila, despite being a bit atypical. If you're not up to DIY, for the cinnamon syrup you could also try substituting one of Liber & Co's fantastic syrups, like their much-loved Fig Caramelized Syrup. For the tumeric tea, you could absolutely use a commercially available tea with tumeric as one of its ingredients.
