History

I was inspired by the Drambuie and banana liqueur combination in The Goodwill that I recently made. I swapped its rye and lemon for mezcal and lime, and accented the drink with Peychaud's Bitters. For a name, I was inspired by Backbar's cryptid menu, and I dubbed this the Lechuza after the shapeshifting witch of Mexico – a person-sized bird with a human face.
