Review:

Bittersweet with gin's botanical complexity and orange zest freshness.

History:

Adapted from a drink discovered in 2010 at Forty Four, New York City, USA. Hocus Pocus by the Dutch rock band Focus was a chart-topper both sides of the Atlantic in 1971. Famous for its yodelling, whistling, accordion, and flute, this is a tune that has to heard to be believed. We're fans!
