Lightly spiced and bittersweet, a good option for an aperitivo.
History:
Created in 2017 by Joe Macbeth at 400 Rabbits, Nottingham, England. Joe says of his drink, "A nod to Americana and the Robert Frost poem from which it derives its name. A bittersweet dedication to all those who wistfully regret bygone decisions and ponder a life where the grass is greener."
Joe's original recipe calls for: 40 ml Few Spiced American Gin, 25 ml Suze, 25 ml Rinquinquin and 2 dash Chamomile bitters.
