How to make:

SHAKE all ingredients with ice and fine strain into chilled glass.

Garnish:

Orange zest (discarded) & float star anise

Comment:

Reminiscent of a Mexican Blood & Sand, refreshing and complex.

About:

Created in August 2015 by yours truly (Simon Difford) at the Cabinet Room, London, England. Why Spanish eyes? Tequila distillers speak Spanish, Byrrh is made close to the Spanish boarder, pacharan is very Spanish, as are the best oranges. Plus my missus is half Spanish so has brown eyes and this drink is brownish.
