History
Reposado tequila is rounded by sweet vermouth and freshened by pink grapefruit liqueur, with gentle cinnamon spice and faint bitter chocolate.
This cocktail originates from a recipe found in 2015 at Pouring Ribbons, New York City, USA. It is named after Harry "Two Guns" Miller, who established a zoo and the Apache Death Cave attraction in the Arizona town of Canyon Lodge on Route 66 during the 1920s. He then renamed the town Two Guns and adopted the persona of Chief Crazy Thunder. However, his venture encountered difficulties. Miller had a disagreement with the landowners from whom he rented the property, leading him to shoot the husband on March 3rd, 1926, amidst a heated argument. Although acquitted at his trial, he was subsequently mauled by a mountain lion on two separate occasions. In 1929, a fire destroyed the attraction.
