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

I've had worse. I've definitely had better. This is one of those "fun" shots you have with friends just to see their reactions. It's really not that bad...if you like licorice...with a little kick. I used Molinari and Alma del Jaguar Reposado.

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.
