The Mexican Candy Shot is a vibrant and zesty cocktail inspired by the flavors of Mexican candies. Typically, it combines tequila with a splash of spicy Tajín seasoning, a squeeze of lime juice, and sometimes a hint of sweetness from either agave syrup or grenadine. This shot packs a punch with its spicy, tangy, and slightly sweet flavors, reminiscent of the popular Mexican candies it draws inspiration from. It’s often served in a salt-rimmed glass for an extra pop of flavor.
