ABOUT
This drink was created by Matthias Soberon. He described that this cocktail started out as a Bermuda Hundred (a gin Jungle Bird). You see the similarities here, but the addition of banana, Aperol, and orange make it stand out. This is definitely a lightning bolt of tropic flavors. Cheers y’all!
