From Wikipedia
It was originally designed in Playa Del Carmen, a resort town on the Mayan Riviera, then reintroduced by a bartender named Cody in the Austin Texas warehouse district. (the name of the bar is as of yet unknown) The drink was originally created as a southern alternative to an irish car bomb. It uses black sambuca in place of irish whiskey.
"The Sambuca and Irish Cream would not readily mix, and would ooze within each other, creating a rather unpleasant site. The shot was ugly and without description, hence the name. Its popularity has grown, and can be found as far west as Washington state."
Insiders claim that, mainly south of the border, the blood of goats is a key ingredient in the cocktail.

Chupacabra is cross cultural like J-LO says America's leading leading cryptozoologist
El Chupacabra

First appearing in the late 1960s, alleged Chupacabra attacks picked up markedly in the mid-'90s, moving America's leading cryptozoologist, Loren Coleman, to term the animal "the single most notable cryptozoological phenomenon of the past decade." Coleman is the author of Cryptozoology A to Z...cont'd @ lorencoleman.com

Chupacabra being stuffed, put on display, owner says not charging admission
Over in the U.K. chupacabra is known as the "Latin Bigfoot"
The chupacabra is a mythical, blood-sucking creature sometimes referred to as "the Latino Bigfoot" because of the preponderance of sightings in Hispanic communities.
The legend first emerged in March 1995, when eight sheep were found dead and drained of blood at a farm in Puerto Rico.
All the victims – and hundreds of other farm animals and pets killed in similar circumstances on the territory in subsequent months – had three puncture wounds in their chests, which investigators struggled to explain.
Locals nicknamed the unknown attacker "el chupacabra", the goat sucker, and while the beast was never captured rumours of its terrifying physical appearance began to swirl.
Some witnesses claimed it had the power of flight and could jump over trees, while others described it as almost humanoid, with red eyes and hairy arms.
As the livestock death toll passed 1,000 a consensus began to emerge among witnesses that the creature most closely resembled a large monkey, but with grey-green reptilian skin, fangs, no tail and appendages on its back that could be used as wings.
Reports of the unexplained killings received international attention, sparking a wave of reported sightings in other Latin American counties, including Chile, Peru and Mexico.
As the phenomenon spread to the US the standard description of the chupacabra began to change, with the creature taking a more canine form. Most "mystery" beasts rumoured to be chupacabra were subsequently identified as coyotes or dogs.
Despite the scepticism of biologists and lack of hard evidence, the chupacabra continues to occupy a prominent place in the popular culture of Latin American communities as a nightmarish predator....from The telegraph.com

Texas Man Says He Has Mythical El Chupacabra
From Denverchannel.com
He says he's gonna stuff it
A man living north of San Antonio says he has quite the animal sitting in his freezer -- and it may be a mythical chupacabra.
Jerry Ayer, a teacher at the Blanco Taxidermy School in Blanco, Texas, told TV station KSAT that he's never seen anything like it.
"Different, that’s for sure, very interesting," said Ayer.
The find comes amid a number of strange sightings in the area. The animal is gray in color with leathery, hairless skin and large fangs.
"The front legs seem to be a little bit longer than a typical coyote, very irregular and never seen any that have legs like that," said Ayer.
Similar animals have been spotted across the country and deep in South America.
"I don’t know what to call it, I'll just call it a chupacabra too," Ayer told KSAT.
He said he came across the animal because a former student of his didn't know what it was either and sought advice.
"It got into his cousin's barn and they thought maybe it was a rodent tearing things up, and they had no idea since they’ve never seen it," said Ayer. "He got out some poison, and this is what they got the very next day."
Ayer said he plans to preserve the animal with taxidermy. He also said he hopes a local museum will take it for display so everyone can marvel at the strange animal.
"It’s definitely something I don’t want to throw away,” said Ayer. “I think it will be an interesting mount and a tremendous conversation piece."
The chupacabra myth began not long ago in the 1990s when eyewitnesses claimed to have seen it in Puerto Rico. Farmers there said sheep were found with puncture wounds and were drained of blood. A total of 150 farm animals were reportedly killed by the beast. Since then, sightings have been reported from Chile to Maine.
The mythical beast also found its way into popular culture and television. CNN's Ed Lavandera called the chupacabra the "bigfoot of Latino culture." The animal gets its name from Spanish, chupacabra literally means "goat sucker."
Finds like the one in Blanco have appeared on the History Channel's "Monster Quest," they were subsequently determined to be dogs or coyotes.
