Neptune's Wrath

Modern | Sour | by Toby Maloney | from Leandro DiMonriva

Adapted from a recipe created circa 2007 by Toby Maloney at The Violet Hour in Chicago. The foaming surface, green hue of the absinthe and flaming Chartreuse represents Neptune expressing his fury with a dangerously rough sea.
