Aztec Spice Fusion

This cocktail is a delightful fusion of traditional Mexican and Spanish flavors, paying homage to the cultural blend that gave rise to Dia de los Muertos. The rich and smooth Espolón Tequila Reposado is paired with Pedro Ximenez Sherry, complemented by the tangy kick of lemon juice and the sweet notes of agave nectar. The addition of sweetened cocoa mix adds depth and a hint of chocolate, while a sprinkle of ground cinnamon serves as a metaphorical homage to ashes, tying in with the cocktail's name.
