Read about cocktail measures and measuring

Prepare:

  1. Select a SHOT GLASS.
  2. No garnish to prepare.

How to make:

  1. POUR sambuca into chilled glass.
  2. LAYER tequila by carefully pouring over sambuca.
  3. Lastly DRIP pepper sauce onto drink. This will sink through the tequila to form an orange line on top of the sambuca.

Garnish:

  1. Serve naked, without garnish.

Review:

A serious combination of sweetness, strength and heat. Looks weird and tastes weirder.

Whoever came up with this concoction should receive a lifetime ban from the bartender's guild. Don't do it. Just don't. I already took the bullet, so you don't have to.

To be honest... Nothing special. Sambuca and Tequila makes hot sauce easy to take. But in overall not so good.
