History

At the gin bar that I was working at, I created this after having recently made a guest The Drink of Laughter and Forgetting. I thought about how well Green Chartreuse and Cynar pair, and my mind then lept to how both liqueurs partner well with curaçao. For a structure, I considered a sweet vermouth-gin direction akin to the Bijou, and for a name, I dubbed it after our location in the Continuum Building -- a newly built apartment complex with stores and restaurants on the first floor and across from Harvard Business School.
