The drink is adapted from a recipe by Ted Haigh (Dr. Cocktail). The name of the drink comes from a band leader named Juan Garcia Esquivel.
He was one of the foremost exponents of a sophisticated style of largely instrumental music that combines elements of lounge music and jazzwith Latin flavors. Esquivel is sometimes called "The King of Space Age Pop" and "The Busby Berkeley of Cocktail Music."
The cocktail was created for Byron Werner, who rediscovered Esquivel after years of obscurity and allowed him several years of revitalized fame before his demise.
It was created to characterize Esquivel himself: sweet, spicy, tropical, tangy
2 ounces light rum
1/2 ounce Kahlua
1 ounce pineapple juice
orange bitters to taste
Angostura bitters to taste
