Another drink from the Boston area, this came out of the mind of Josh Childs at the bar Silverstone around 2005, when he was playing around with the newly-released St. Germain elderflower liqueur (aka bartneder’s ketchup). The end result famously tastes of graprefruit juice, despite including none. The early version of this used gin, but was later updated by Childs to swap in malty genever (gin’s precursor) at Trina’s Starlight Lounge in 2009 where it continues to be served today.
