This cocktail, also known as the Periodista, was created in 1995 at Chez Henri in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The original recipe called for dark rum, apricot liqueur, triple sec, and lime juice. Over time, the recipe has been refined to include dark rum, Combier triple sec, Rothman & Winter apricot liqueur, and fresh lime juice. Expertly balanced and full of Latin flavor, this cocktail has become a favorite in the Boston area and beyond.
