Detailed description
Gold Label Heat is a spicy and savory shots built around tequila. It tastes like a toast made under bright lights, with enough swagger for the record-brand angle.
The build centers on 3/4 oz tequila reposado, 1/2 oz mango liqueur, 1/4 oz lime juice, and 1/4 oz chili syrup. In the glass, mango liqueur gives this a ripe, velvet-soft fruit core, while reposado tequila and chili syrup add warm oak and a trailing ember of spice.
It comes together in 3 minutes and is served in a shot glass. Serve it right after mixing so the salty or spicy finish stays bright and direct.
