Jason Westplate created the Nacho Sour in 2015 as a tribute to General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín, the commander behind Mexico's surprise win over French troops at Puebla on 5 May 1862. It is intended as a fuller, more layered alternative to the usual Cinco de Mayo margarita, pairing citrus, vanilla and herbal notes with the light smokiness of mezcal and the silky body that egg white gives.
