El Pepino

El Pepino cocktail recipeEl Pepino is a Margarita riff that’s been making the rounds for a while. There are no definitive creation details on this drink and many many bars have their own version. It’s really easy to customize by adding different elements such as Passionfruit purée, pineapple, Orange liqueur, or cilantro depending on how you want the drink to hit. At the end of the day, it’s a really nice take on Tommy’s Marg adding a little complexity and spice.
