My bf and I loved it…. He doesn’t like sweet drinks so this was up his ally…. I was able to find everything easy…. I remembered the Mexican liquor from my time in Cabo….. Yummy #nj
I give this a three star rating only because unless you live in CA, you probably will not be able to find Mexican Agave Ligueur!! Does anyone know of a substitution??
