Citrus Popper
I love all things spicy. Give me a menu that mentions something spicy, Sriracha, Jalapeno or Cayenne, I will have a hard time turning it down! But I have found that most of these spicy drinks and the jalapeno infused liquors that are used are not enjoyable to drink; there is almost too much heat to them. So you could say, I was not a fan of spicy tequila. . .that is until I tried Xo Chitl ‘s house spicy margarita a few years ago. This margarita drink is actually not on their current menu, but if you are from Philly, trust me, go and ask for it! I have…
