History

A raspberry variation on the Blackthorn with subtle Chartreuse herbs.

This recipe is adapted from one created by bartender Takumi Watanabe. Takumi's original recipe does not include fresh raspberries, but rather 15ml of homemade raspberry syrup, which is made with 200ml fresh raspberry juice and 150ml sugar.
