Where did the name come from ?

This Nuclear like cocktail was invented in the mid 1900s by Sovit bartenders in response to the famous American cocktail called B-52 which was a very popular one at that time. The appearance of this mix resembles a nuclear mushroom which is why it was named after the great “ Hiroshima “ Catastrophy.

As with most cocktails there are several versions of this one, here’s ours !

How does the explosion effect appear ?

Since grenadine’s density is much higher than the other three ingredients in this mix, it will easily sink to the bottom and create the explosion like effect.
