Standard
El Burro kicks like its namesake, layering aged tequila's oak-kissed warmth against bright citrus and tropical pineapple. A whisper of absinthe adds herbal complexity without overwhelming, while ginger beer lifts the drink with effervescence and spice. The result is a refreshing, subtly layered highball that balances sweetness and heat with an unexpected anise edge.
