Cocktail Suggestion

Food Pairing
Mole negro with roasted chicken — the chocolate, spice, and fruit complexity in both the mole and the tequila create one of the great pairings.
Chinaco Añejo is the tequila that should not exist — not because it is not excellent, but because it comes from a place nobody associates with tequila.
