Charro Negro Cocktail Recipe
A popular Mexican cocktail, essentially a tequila-based twist on the Cuba Libre (rum and Coke). It combines tequila, fresh lime juice, and Coca-Cola (preferably Mexican Coke), often with a salted rim, balancing sweet, citrusy, salty, and bitter notes. Named after the 'black cowboy' of Mexican folklore.
