Review:
Aromatic and perfumed, bison grass, apple, sour lemon and rich passion fruit combine in this lightly sweet and fruity cocktail.
History:
Adapted from a recipe created by Robb Collins, Group Head Bartender at London Cocktail Club in London, England.
I created this in 2013 for the Monin 'Twist Your Classics' Competition, which I won. To this day I think it's the best drink I have ever created, so light and silky, yet amazing depth of flavour and definitely a drink you can have a few of.
Robb Collins, 2017
