About
This cocktail was created by Frederic Yarm (@fredericyarm) as a mash-up of the classic tiki Nui Nui and Cure’s Drink of Laughter and Forgetting. The name comes from Doctor Yah-Yah, a New Orleans voodoo practitioner described in Herbert Asbury’s The French Quarter, tying the drink to its Crescent City roots. Bright citrus and warm spice meet a bitter, herbal base, making this a bold and layered hybrid of two very different drinks.Cheers y'all!
