Sotol Matador

A unique twist on the classic Tequila Matador, the Sotol Matador features sotol, a lesser-known agave-based spirit. This cocktail combines the earthy flavors of sotol with the zesty kick of lemon and pineapple, finished with a touch of sweetness from agave syrup and a hint of heat from habanero-infused vodka. The addition of cilantro adds a fresh, herbal note, making this drink a complex and refreshing choice for any occasion.
