Comment:

Created bu Christos Chouseas at 42 Bar in Athens, Greece – a bar where The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the work of Douglas Adams influences many of the drink names.

In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book, the number 42 is the "answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything", while ‘Marvin’ is a paranoid, depressive android.

About:
