Review:
Gin and ginger with ginger's heat mellowed by smoothing egg white.
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'."
