ABOUT
The exact origin of this cocktail is unclear, though it did appear in Mr. Boston Official Bartender’s Guide in 1974. However, its popularity in the early 2000s is given to New York bartender Gary “gaz” Regan (RIP). This slightly bitter cocktail reminds me a bright tequila Negroni. So good! Cheers y’all!
