We might have given you plenty of cocktail ideas in the past that are pleasing for the tastebuds, but here’s one of our best one so far. It has the right balance of deliciousness and creativity. And of course, the buzz is great.
Do you love treating yourself to a Mexican night every now and then? Well, then just put on your sombreros and live your heart out in the night, and dance to the beat of your own drum! But every once in a while, you might want to stop to take a sip of your drink before you can join the party. Although any Mexican night calls for a margarita right, here, we have tried to whip up something different which is — the chipotle grapefruit cocktail. The touch of chipotle and chilli truly put the Mexican spin on this drink. Rest assured, you’ll end up making many, many batches of this amazing drink.
