A riff on the Cameron's Kick, with tequila replacing Irish whiskey and mezcal used in place of Scotch whisky.

Adapted from a recipe created in 2019 by drinks writer and raconteur Robert Simonson in Brooklyn, New York City. Named for the 1863 battle between the Mexican army and the French Foreign Legion.
