History

This dry, bittersweet, aperitivo cocktail is significantly better with blanco tequila.

According to urban legend, supported by mainstream media reports in 2023, this cocktail appears on a business card. The card reportedly features only the recipe and a photograph of the vividly orange drink, which was presented to bartenders in Los Angeles, allegedly by "Johnny" himself, with the challenge, "Make this if you can."
