Comment:

Dry and boozy.

“White Reggae” was the second, and seminal, album by the English rock band The Police. The album's French name reflects the heavy influence of the country’s products in this cocktail. Happily for approval by our naming committee (my missus), most of the ingredients are also decidedly “Blanc”.

Origin:

Created in August 2015 by yours truly (Simon Difford) at the Cabinet Room, London, England.
