Maybe I’m just feeling my Taurus self, or possibly I’m really struggling to get back into the groove after spring break; either way, this drink has one helluva kick. It brings together two of my personal favorite flavors, tequila and coffee.

EXPERIENCE: With the first sip, I felt like just drank fire. Brave Bull is 100 percent alcohol, and you know that with the first taste. An ounce and half of silver tequila is mixed with half an ounce of Kahlua, then poured over ice. Now I know this drink sounds insane, but the Kahlua sweetens up the drink that you almost forget that you’re basically drinking tequila.

ADVICE: In case you didn’t notice, this drink is a bit intense (hence the name). This may seem small, but adding a lemon twist makes the drink feel classy and lightens up the flavor just a bit.
