03History
Keith McNally's Balthazar-era scene made it famous; it belongs to the anything-in-a-V-glass martini diaspora. The pineapple froth is the trick — shake hard and it foams like egg white.
It reads French because of the Chambord; it drinks like a cosmopolitan in softer focus.
Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
