You will lose your mind over this drink. There's really nothing else to say here other than go buy the ingredients ASAP and make it like...yesterday. It will take you about 15 minutes to put together (the laborious part is the cilantro garnish), but the effort is well worth it. If you're entertaining for a large crowd, definitely double or triple this recipe because it will go very fast. Video instructions here.
