Banco De Mexico

This tequila drink is a crafty take on the traditional mint julep. Instead of bourbon and mint, the Banco de Mexico gets tequila and its smoky sister mezcal. It also gets a little creme de cacao for a hint of both chocolate and vanilla. Talk about a variety of flavors!This recipe is on the secret menu at Rosina cocktail lounge at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas.
