I learned this cocktail from one of my favourite cocktail books, "Ultimate Bar Book" by Mittie Hellmich, and this is one of her creations. I'm a big fan!
She relates that there is a "visually epic moment just as the sun goes down called the green flash, in which a green glow appears for 2 or 3 seconds along the horizon line". I have yet to visit there, but I know what cocktail I'll be drinking when I do.
