Atracción Ahumado Margarita

The Atracción Ahumado Margarita (translating to "Smoky Attraction") is a robust, deeply flavorful twist on the classic that delivers plenty of warming spice. It beautifully layers the oaky notes of reposado tequila and the earthy smoke of mezcal with a fiery kick of chili liqueur and sweet dry curaçao. Shaken with fresh lime juice and agave syrup, this complex, spicy sipper is perfectly finished in an Old-Fashioned glass with a rim of smoked salt and Tajín.
