La Piñata
- Total Time: 2 minutes
- Yield: 1 Serving 1x
Description
Inspired by the traditional Mexican piñata, the La Piñata cocktail blends tropical fruits with tequila, creating a lively concoction ideal for outdoor parties.
I find that the addition of a spicy chilli-salt rim and a splash of soda water makes La Piñata more exotic and fun than the classic Margarita it’s based on.
