Take Flight with the Escuadrón

Jun. 24, 2016

Certain libations have a richer history than others, and this variation of the classic Aviation cocktail takes that to a whole new level (literally!). Commemorating the 201st fighter squadron (also known as the Aztec Eagles), it pays homage to the part of the Mexican Expeditionary Air Force that aided the Allied forces in liberating the Philippines in 1945 during World War II.
