History

Refreshing and complex, reminiscent of a Mexican Blood & Sand.

The name "Spanish eyes" is explained thus: Tequila distillers speak Spanish, Byrrh is produced near the Spanish border, pacharan is very Spanish, as are the finest oranges. Furthermore, the creator's partner is half Spanish, possessing brown eyes, and the drink itself has a brownish hue.
