Guacamole Crudo and Rosangel Diablo

Chuck makes delicious guacamole.  He makes it smooth or chunky, but I prefer it chunky so today it's my style.  We paired the guac with a spicy and refreshing cocktail we call Rosangel Diablo that stars Gran Centenario Rosangel Tequila.  This tequila has a unique color and flavor because it's hibiscus infused and the addition of the jalapeno gives it just the right kick.
