History
I always wanted to create a cocktail for the very big cocktail nation of Israel (!?!?). I found a picture of the port of Haifa -- just a simple port picture with a lot of mist. I took ingredients from all over the world, because Haifa its a huge port and gets boats from all corners of the world. To add something look like mist, I smoked it with my own Buffalo Trace Sawdust!
I cleaned up this recipe a bit, both to fit our style guidelines and to ease the Swedish-to-English translation. Thanks!
