03History
Marco Dionysos of San Francisco mixed it around 2001 and Marcovaldo Dionysos brought it to Portland's early craft scene. Falernum pulls the chartreuse toward the tropics; the swizzle technique — churning the drink with a stick between palms — is pure Caribbean.
Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
