Comments from olga :

(Coctel de Camorones u Ostiones, San Juan de Ulua)

The author says, “In an effort to get a good mix, I sat at my favorite maestro’s booth by the old fort of San Juan de Ulua in Vera Cruz. I did a surreptitious time motion study of his sauce blending, and at the end of the two hours I had eaten four cocktails and had heisted the secret formula.”
