Haven’t made this yes but when I do I will add the cheese queso and pretzels! Thanks for the great idea!

This is delicious!

These definitely have a kick to them.  After each taste a slow long burn is noticed.  I’m from Texas and use to eating a lot of spicy Mexican food with jalapenos.  I marinated my tequila with one jalapeno for about 36 hours before straining.  I like this cocktail’s hot finish.  It balances out the over sweetness of the orange juice & grenadine.  With it’s strong heat, I think cheese queso dip would be a great accompaniment for this cocktail.  Especially if you use pretzels instead of taco chips for a little something different.
