History
Crimes of Passion is a modern tequila-and-mezcal sour created by bartender Hunter Orahood in 2018 at Attaboy, the cocktail bar in Manhattan, New York City. The drink pairs the two agave spirits with lime, passion fruit, and honey, a combination noted by cocktail writers as echoing the classic Daiquiri variation known as Don's Special, filtered through an agave-spirit lens.
