Notes

Reposado is a rested tequila that has been aged in oak barrels for a whisky like flavor. You can use silver tequila for this recipe and then optionally add 1/2-1 tsp of whisky for flavor.

Star of Anise is a spice commonly used in Asian recipes such as Pho broth. It has a flavor sort of like cloves meet black licorice but will not flavor the drink. It's just pretty.
