History

After seeing folks make my As I Lay Dying on Instagram, I thought about the Braulio-apricot combination and merged it with the Pendennis Club. In retrospect, I could have left out the Pendennis Club's Peychaud's akin to the Campari acting like the Pegu Club's Angostura in the Jasmine, but Peychaud's has a good track record of improving drinks. I named this weird one after the multimedia events in the 1960s thrown by Andy Warhol and friends called the Exploding Plastic Inevitable that I read about in Ada Calhoun's St. Marks is Dead book.
