Review:

A Margarita with a touch of smoky character and plenty of warming oomph. It crossed my mind that whatever "oomph" is in Spanish would be a fitting name for this Margarita, so I hit Google Translate and amusingly it came back with "atracción sexual". Hence, instead of a mere "Smoky Chili Margarita", this became the Atracción Ahumado (Smoky Attraction).

Nothing at all "mere" about this smoky chili margarita. Fell in love with this instantly, could drink it until ... well, probably until it became more of a "fatal attraction" than just a smoky one. A great drink, Simon!
