Blanco tequila

Mood Booster

Lightly smoky, fruity tequila shot with a citrus edge

Fresh citrus with subtle smokeApricot fruitiness with light agave sweetnessSoft, lightly smoky fade with a clean citrus aftertaste

This balanced mixed shot features blanco tequila backed by the subtle smokiness of mezcal, softened with the bright fruitiness of apricot liqueur. Fresh lemon juice provides a lightly tart kick, while a touch of agave keeps the sweetness restrained. Smooth, vibrant, and just smoky enough.
