hay there

3/4 oz Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka
3/4 oz Dolin Genepy Liqueur
3/4 oz Giffard Pamplemousse Grapefruit Liqueur
3/4 oz Lime Juice

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe.
Two Tuesdays ago, I ventured down to Backbar in Somerville for Jesse Lane's First Fifty challenge that he needed to complete before becoming a full-fledged bartender there. Off the list, I selected the Hay There, and I was able to utilize the KindredCocktails database to learn that it was created by James Lamont at Backbar in Summer 2016. Once prepared, the Hay There led off with a lime, bright herbaceous, and grapefruit aroma. Next, lime and grapefruit notes on the sip greeted herbal, grapefruit, and cinnamon flavors on the swallow. The overall balance and feel here reminded me of the Aqueduct.
