03History

Los Angeles, 1960s. Attributed to Raimundo Alvarez at the Beverly Hilton — built to showcase the same Galliano campaign that birthed the Wallbanger.

It belongs to the cream-cocktail era alongside the Alexander and Grasshopper: technically a drink, emotionally a dessert.

Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
