For me, this particular drink is simply too spicy to enjoy neat. While I cook with habaneros and truly relish their heat and flavor in food, this infused tequila doesn't strike me as something I’d pair with a meal. Perhaps with vanilla bean ice cream, though, I could imagine the heat contrasting intriguingly with the sweetness for a nuanced, unexpected pairing. That said, I do think this tequila has a place, with its unique intensity carving out a niche for those who crave something bold and different. It feels like it belongs in a category all its own.
