Expanse Cocktail #86
Manéo Jung-Espinoza
Manéo Jung-Espinoza has been breaking records all across the Outer Planets in his slingshot racing pod, the ¿Y Qué? It requires spending a lot of time away from Ceres, but he still remembers to call his girlfriend every once in a while. When slowly building a name for himself isn’t enough, Néo sets out to make history.
This drink is designed to complement the Cocktail 87, Evita Jung, as a shot and a chaser, or sipped side-by-side.
Optional: Additionally, take a shot of protein shake to represent Manéo’s sexy beratna, a.k.a. Thigh Guy.
