bartaco's Red Sonja Cocktail

Perfect for Cinco de Mayo (or any other day really), the Red Sonja cocktail is as spicy as the heroine it is named after. Getting its kick from jalapeno and ginger, the drink is balanced out with lemon juice and Byrrh Quinquina, a lightly bitter apertif. You can order this cocktail at any of the bartaco locations, or learn how to make it below.
