History

Created in August 2015 by yours truly 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.

Delicious riff on the Blood & Sand, and the Pacharán liqueur fits in very well (maybe reduce it a little and increase the tequila to make a dryer cocktail).
