Cactus Juice
It's the Quenchiest!

Ingredients:
- 2 oz tequila blanco
- ½ oz Campari
- ½ oz grapefruit juice
- ½ oz fresh lime juice
- ½ oz simple syrup
- Tajin (for rimming)
- Hibiscus flower (for garnish)
Directions: Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a cocktail glass rimmed with Tajin. Garnish with a hibiscus flower.
Unlike Sokka's experience, this cactus juice won't have you seeing giant mushroom clouds... probably. Get your Cactus Juice Flask here!
