History

The original recipe specifies Suze gentian liqueur; gentian flavour combines brilliantly with tequila, and dry vermouth adds herbal complexity.

Rufus Grantham created this cocktail at Demon, Wise & Partners in London, England. His original recipe called for 2 parts Ocho blanco tequila, ½ part Dolin dry vermouth, ½ part Suze, and 4 drops Bittermens hopped grapefruit bitters.
