History

A slightly sweet tequila-laced after-dinner/late night sipper with rich herbal and elderflower liqueurs. Looks like it should be stirred but it's better shaken.

The team at Employees Only in New York City, USA, created this cocktail. It is named after the yellow jacket wasps attracted to agave during tequila and mezcal production in Mexican distilleries.
