Still waiting for the Carl Marx drink!! Perhaps...tedious, pendantic, boring and somehow outrageous and controversial! If that's not a challenge fittingly-hard for Mr. Diffords'...
With the exception of the boarder town between the US and Mexico, this is primarily just another day. It is observed in the state of Puebla, but my friends have other names for this day which is not very complimentary. You are totally correct, it was developed by the brewers and then the distillers got into the act. It is a party day. I live in San Diego, southern California. I always stay home this day (too many amature drunks on the road)
I just mixed Edmund's Covid-19. Mine came out a dirty emerald rather than “rich emerald” but attractive none-the-less. Like the virus, the drink is punchy and likely to leave a lasting effect. Unlike the virus, I’m enjoying it. How about:
Cognac
Orange curacao
Violet liqueur
Italicus
Dubonnet Red
