The Vampiro Is a Streetside Staple in Jalisco. It Has One Man to Thank.
Briefly

Oscar Hernández, who started selling food as a child, eventually created the Vampiro cocktail in the 1980s, transforming his life's work into a tourist attraction.
In the early 1980s, while at a friend's country house, Hernández experimented by adding sangrita to tequila and Squirt, finally arriving at the now-famous Vampiro.
The Vampiro, a striking cocktail made with tequila, orange juice, lime, salt, and Squirt, has now become synonymous with the vibrant local culture in San Luis Soyatlán.
Reflecting on his childhood, Hernández recalls how the local kids would rush to serve travelers, showcasing a lasting tradition of hospitality and community in San Luis Soyatlán.
