History

I had been thinking about Joaquin Simo's Sweet Valley High after having made one for a guest at Drink that week, and I decided to put my own spin on it by changing the liqueur and bitters and by adding a light touch of absinthe. To keep with Joaquin's name, I dubbed this one Dinosaurs Before Dark after another young adult book series.
