It's that time of the week again!  Today we have a bit of a fiesta as we explore a drink called the "Mexican Peach"... The recipe I have calls for 1.5 ounces of tequila, 1 ounce of peach schnapps, 1 ounce margarita mix, and 1 ounce cranberry juice.  To fill up a standard short tumbler, I needed to multiply the recipe ingredients by three.

The peppermint taste of the schnapps is balanced nicely with the coffee taste of the Kahlua.  The sweetness of the two are cut and diffused a bit by the club soda.  The combination of three give the drink a solid mint cho...
