📜 History

The Mexican Candy shot is inspired by traditional Mexican candies that combine sweet fruit flavors with chili heat. The watermelon liqueur provides sweetness while tequila adds body and hot sauce brings the characteristic heat. Often served with a Tajin-rimmed glass for extra authentic spicy-sour flavor.
