History

A riff on Sam Ross' Mosquito featuring smoky, peaty whisky against bitter liqueur and fiery ginger. Lemon juice unites these muscular ingredients into harmony.

This drink is an adaptation of a recipe from Brandon Bramhall at Attaboy, located in Nashville, Tennessee. Bramhall's initial creation featured a balanced ratio of Islay whisky, Gran Classico, lemon juice, and ginger juice syrup.
