ABOUT
This modern classic was created in the mid 1990s by Paul Harrington at Townhouse Bar & Grill (Emeryville, CA). He named the drink after his friend, Matt Jasmin, who told Harrington to make him something he’s never made before. Years later he realized he misspelled his name! This is a bitter, bright, and tart. Cheers y’all!
