Billionaire

A modern nod to classic cocktail history, the Billionaire is inspired by the lesser-known Millionaire No. 1. This refined sour finds balance between rich apricot brandy, tart lemon, and the deep complexity of Hennessy VS, making it a perfect pick for both connoisseurs and cocktail newcomers.
