History

A boozy yet delicate Japanese whisky Manhattan riff, beautifully balanced and complex. Freshening aniseed and minty notes from Strega are beneficial.

This recipe is adapted from one by Brad Farran of Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. Brad Farran's original recipe specifies Yamazaki 12 year old. He chose the name for his cocktail as a reference to the third film in the Fast and the Furious series, which he finds "pretty hilarious."
