About
This cocktail was recommended to me by a follower after I shared the Thumper’s Revenge. According to Difford’s Guide, it was adapted from a drink originally called Natural, created by Jorge Balbontin in Barcelona in 2015. The updated name references vitamin A and beta carotene, the compounds in carrots associated with eye health, which makes the carrot connection even better.
It was originally served in a flute without ice, which is ironically how I served the Thumper’s Revenge, even though that drink should have been served in a rocks glass over ice, as I did here.Cheers y’all!
