"You will not find a stronger margarita in Los Angeles than the one they light on fire at El Compadre. This isn’t some finessed, modern cocktail with cactus root and a dollop of Himalayan crystal foam on top. This is a classic sweet and sour-doused margarita with a floating lemon peel full of 151 that they light on fire. Tip: Don’t let it burn out on its own. Push it immediately down into the drink with your straw, mixing it all together for a sweet and smoky effect that will put you under the table in a half hour." - brant cox, sylvio martins
