Jalisco Spice

Featuring clove-infused Tequila, “this cocktail reminds us of the holidays but with somewhat untraditional ingredients,” says Jessica Bray, bartender at the Red Star Tavern in Portland, Oregon. “It literally smells like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Using the Herradura Anejo was key because of the vanilla, bubble gum type aroma it already has, and the clove was a perfect match for it. Using the cinnamon sugar and agave nectar sweeten it up just enough to take the edge off,” Bray says.
