History

The creator's photograph of the cocktail at Dubai's Burj Al Arab is striking. It is served with a tiny wooden artist's palette and a micro easel displaying Picasso's Portrait of The Absinthe Drinker. The drink is an artistic citrus-led riff on a Pisco Sour, with the presentation amounting to true cocktail artistry.

This is adapted from a recipe created in 2016 by Sean Halse at Gold On 27, Burj Al Arab, Dubai. Sean stated, "The drink was designed to show the artistic side of the modern bartender." His original recipe used 40ml Lapostelle Pisco and 10ml 1:1 sugar syrup.
