ABOUT
This drink was created by Kyle Davidson in 2008 when given a “Dealer’s Choice” ticket while bartending. It read, “a bitter drink with rum.” Davidson liked how the Chartreuse and Cynar fight for the last word. The mint and lime add some needed freshness. A great template for riffs. Cheers y’all!
