Created in 2011 by Ted Kilgore at the bar “Taste” in St. Louis, MIssouri. Commonly seen as a ‘bartenders handshake’ owing to the very strong components that combine to create this delicious and (believe it or not) well-balanced drink. It combines the deeply bitter amari Fernet-Branca and herbal Green Chartreuse.
