What does The Incredible Hulk taste like?

This cocktail is sweet and citrusy with strong notes of vanilla, herbs, spices and notes of caramel. A little orange bitters not only adds a fruity citrus sweetness, but also adds balance to the recipe.

history

The Incredible Hulk drink was created at Justin’s Restaurant in New York City. Sean Combs owned the (now closed) establishment in 2003 when the drink was created. One brand representative noticed that more women were drinking Hpnotiq than men and requested a new, more potent recipe. The bartender came up with the idea of ​​mixing Hpnotiq with cognac to create a less sweet drink.

The result is a sweet, stiff drink with a bright green color. Optionally adding orange bitters adds depth and nuance to this recipe.

The result of the promotional party was an innovation that was sweeter than regular brandy cocktails and stiffer than most Hpnotiq drinks. It was a crowd pleaser and quickly became popular.

It was named after the Hulk superhero because of its bright green color. The Hulk’s superpowers include superhuman strength, hence the name this powerful cocktail.
