Tequesso (original) (raw)

A Tequesso is a type of shot wherein a shot of tequila gold is chased by a shot of espresso. The coffee works to neutralize the bitterness of the tequila and the burn of the alcohol, while the caramel of the tequila sweetens the coffee. The Tequesso is sometimes referred to as Esprilla. The drink is often seen as a digestive to avoid an after dinner dip.
