History:

Adapted from a recipe created 2011/2 by Chris Elford at Amor y Amargo in Manhattan, New York City. (Originally made with Bonal as the quinquina.) The story goes that Chris named this boozy cocktail, created especially for a particular guest, after imagining the drinker passed out drunk, with a moustache drawn on their face using a Sharpie pen.
