Review
Adapted from a drink created in 2017 by Martyn Lourencoat at Kol Restaurant, Reykjavik, Iceland, who says, "Since cocktail culture is still pretty new in Iceland and people aren't used to gentiane and absinthe in their drinks, I chose the name Pterodactyl because I didn't want guests to connect the name to anything they've had before! The fact that it is difficult to pronounce is an advantage as it is a good talking point for us. Pterodactyl is the name of a species of Pterosaur and so is very hard to come up with expectations on taste from the name!
