Review:

A raspberry charged variation on the Blackthorn with faint Chartreuse herbal notes.

History:

Adapted from a recipe created by bartender Takumi Watanabe. Takumi's original recipe doesn't use fresh raspberries, instead, he uses 15ml homemade raspberry syrup (made with 200ml fresh raspberry juice and 150ml sugar).

Alcohol content:

  • 1.4 standard drinks
  • 20.83% alc./vol. (41.66° proof)
  • 19.6 grams of pure alcohol
