The Rolls Royce

 

Do not let this ungarnished cocktail fool you. Strong and lingering in every sip. There is no indication as to why it is named The Rolls Royce, other than in the brief description, that one might be chauffeur driven around the British countryside while sipping this cocktail. Honestly, you do not need to be doing that to enjoy it and is probably more preferred if you don't!
