Some of my favorite things: smoke and fire. I'm perhaps biased toward espresso Martini in general. Ingredients: Cimarron Blanco, Luxardo Espresso, Siete Misterios, Bittermens Xocolatl bitters, and Lee Kum Kee peppercorn chili oil. I thought the measure of agave would be too much, but it was fine, even needed in order to provide balance.
