Killing Me Softly
Price $16
Created by: Davina and Keita
The beautiful pink of this Strawberry Margarita represents love and the black pear syrup represents darkness and pain which comes pouring in slowly to engulf the pink love inside your skull glass. This creation takes a traditional margarita and adds some jalapeño spiciness with a rim of Tajin, peppermint, salt and sugar. The charcoal pear syrup mimics poison. Be careful! It’s strong and might kill you softly
Ingredients: Tequila 1000, Cointreau, Ancho Ryes, Fresh Lime juice, Mint syrup, Fresh Strawberries, Pear charcoal syrup, Fresh Jalapeño sliced, Tajin, Dried pepper mint, Salt and sugar
