Review:

A sour-style drink served straight-up combining cognac, Green Chartreuse, white wine and lemon.

History:

Adapted from a recipe created in 2015 by Fabiano Latham when he was at The Natural Philosopher, London, England. Parmenides was a 6th century BC Greek philosopher, appropriate considering the name of Alban’s bar.
