I was trying to think of a creative Cinco De Mayo cocktail. Meanwhile, I made some Spicy Tomatillo Avocado Greek Yogurt salsa and thought I wonder how this would be in a cocktail. I figured some of the spicy, botanical and herbal flavors would work well together. And just like that, it all came together.
