Three panel comic.
Panel 1: Genghis khan is sitting in a throne room. His advisor enters with a fruity drink in hand. The advisor proclaims, “Genghis Khan! I bring a gift from a faraway land!”
Panel 2: he continues, “a ‘strawberry margarita.’” Genghis takes a delicate yet generous sip.
Panel 3: Genghis and his advisor exchange smiles. Genghis says, “yeeooo that’s fire”


So the punchline is the second frame, and the last one is a hat on a hat?
I think the punchline is just subverted expectations. You’d expect him not to get it, be confused by something so out of place, or overreact with amazement over something so commonplace to us. But in actuality, it’s just that a strawberry margarita is always good no matter what time you’re in, along with his surprisingly muted and modern response.
I mean, expecting a punch line is the mistake. Obviously, it’s a margarita line.
