This recipe, courtesy of the ever-creative Keep It Crafted is the brain-child of Dear Irving's Robin Guzman. It plays our Vanilla-Spice Rooibos syrup with tequila in a way we had previously not considered. Whether you garnish with flare or not is up to you, but trying this recipe out is a must for the cocktail enthusiast.
