History

Adapted from a recipe created in 2020 by Boudewijn Vork while working at an Italian restaurant in Noosa, Queensland, Australia. Boudewijn says the reason behind this cocktail's name, "It begins fruity and lenient, but ends sour and spicy. Like you got betrayed, 'a stab in the back'."

Hi - is 60ml Angosturas right? That seems a lot?

Definitely one you should try out. The flavours mix suprisingly well. I was hesistent about the ginger in a cocktail at first, but the spiciness really exceeded my expectations and brought this drink to a new level!

Beautiful symbiosis of flavours with a final stab of the ginger. Definitely recommending this cocktail to everyone!

The cocktail deserves it’s name. It’s really good and sweet, until it hits you in the back. This is how Caesar must have felt..
