This cocktail has a sweet, citrusy flavor with strong notes of vanilla, herbs, and spices, as well as notes of caramel. Adding a few dashes of orange bitters adds a fruity, citrusy sweetness that helps balance out the recipe.

history

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

The result is a bright green cocktail sweet and stiff drink. A dash of optional orange bitters adds depth and nuance to this recipe.

The result of the promotional party is an innovative product that is sweeter than your average brandy cocktail and harder than most Hpnotiq drinks. It became a crowd pleaser and quickly became popular.

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