Frederic Yarm devised the Golden Eagle in 2024 while writing a blog post about the Gold Drop. The honey, lemon and amaro in that drink led to experiments with mezcal and Braulio, a pairing that had already worked in La Jetée and Montañista. The name refers to the golden eagle, Mexico's national bird and the largest bird of prey in North America.
