Review:
Napoleon tendencies aside, this cocktail is bigger than its diminutive proportions, packed with bourbon-laced, expressive bittersweet fruity sourness. Enjoy and make a pig of yourself!
History:
Adapted from a recipe in 2023 by Sam Penton at the Manor Bar in the Rosewood Miramar Beach Hotel, Montecito, California, USA. Sam developed his cocktail, named "Napoleon" after the Marxist pig in George Orwell's 1945 Animal Farm, for a literary villains-themed menu.
