It was invented on Mixology open night in a hotel situated in New Orleans and it became its sign since then. The idea was to find balanced mix between four alcoholic beverages. The cocktail was supposed to not work, but they walked the fine line and succeed to find balance after several adjustments.

For the finest you need to walk the fine line all the time, let's give a walk by.
