History

Adapted from a recipe created in 2023 by Cam Dawson, the longstanding UK Jack Daniel's brand ambassador and originally based on Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey.

"Created for the McLaren Formula One team x Jack Daniel's partnership which kicked off in 2023. McLaren's team colour is Papaya which is of course why I had to use it in the cocktail. The first version of this drink was Bellini-style but the use of the juice instead of purée creates a much cleaner, fruity yet earthy mix that works wonders with Jack Daniel's! Why the champagne?, Cos it's Formula One, baby!!! The name?!?! That was Zak Brown's (CEO of McLaren racing) fault, when he called it this in a video message. I wanted to called it 'The McLaren Fizz'."
Cam Dawson, October 2023

I used Four Roses bourbon, papaya juice from fruit processed through my juicer, and a cheap Andre brut sparkling wine... The color of the liquid was a lot more orange-coral compared to the above photo. Drink tasted good, rather dry, and could've taken a touch more fizz. Definitely worth making if you can juice the papaya yourself.
