Review:

Top with soda and immediately serve/enjoy. Experiencing this cocktail's light fluffy foamy entry to its bittersweet, earthy, almost coal dust and liquorice herbal depths is so good you'll want a fresh one to suck the foam off of. A triumph!

History:

Adapted from a recipe created in 2012 by Tyler Wang at No. 9 Park, in Boston, USA. Apparently inspired by Milk & Honey's Rome is Burning cocktail. I've used pink grapefruit soda as I believe this adds to this cocktail more than the club soda called for in Tyler's original recipe.
