History

I found that fruit liqueurs seem to modulate Campari in interesting and less bitter ways, so I tinkered with St. George's Spiced Pear Liqueur and uncovered that it made for an excellent combination. Soon, gin and Lillet came into formation to make a variation on a classic Negroni. With David Bowie's passing, one of the owners wanted it to be a tribute and we settled on Life on Mars. Part of the sales of the drink went to the Jimmy Fund cancer charity in honor of Bowie.
