History

This cleansing, bittersweet, herbal digestive is a great way to finish a big meal or night, echoing Solomon Grundy's Saturday state.

Dan Long created this cocktail in 2011 while working as a bartender in Los Angeles. The Solomon Grundy is named after the DC Comics supervillain, who in turn takes his name from a 19th-century nursery rhyme. Solomon Grundy, Born on a Monday, Christened on Tuesday, Married on Wednesday, Took ill on Thursday, Grew worse on Friday, Died on Saturday, Buried on Sunday, That was the end, Of Solomon Grundy.
