For a followup to the Bonnie & Clyde, bartender Matt Schrage suggested a drink called A Postcard to Nina. Part of the reason I wondered about the Bonnie & Clyde gunman versus song name question was due to the sound track that evening which was Jens Lekman. Matt named this complex recipe after one of Lekman's songs, A Postcard to Nina. Overall, the ingredients list sounded like a page from Shrage's Blue Room days last year.
A Postcard to Nina began with a fruity nose. A carbonated Aperol and lime sip tricked me into thinking that there was grapefruit in the recipe. Next, the pineapple began the swallow that ended with a bitter, herbal Meletti-driven finish. Indeed, the pineapple juice seemed to be the crucial ingredient to tie (the fruity and bitter elements in) this drink together.
