The opinion of Damien, our globe-trotting bartender
A cocktail coming straight to us from NYC created by Audrey Saunders just 20 years ago
It was at Maria Magdalena that I tasted and prepared my very first with @Adrian_Siraj_hendricks
Here is a slight twist that has become one of the best sellers of the Experimental Cocktail Club for over 15 years.
My favorite places to taste it:
In Paris: at the ECC obviously or at the Prescription Cosmic Theater
Around the World: Following Audrey's footsteps in NYC, to Attaboy who took over the location of the Milk & Honey fire that she loved so much
And if you need a bar recommendation, depending on where you're headed next getaway: @damien_lmr_
