Compound V Cocktail
Courtesy of Petit Trois
This cocktail recipe comes from chef Ludo Lefebvre of the Petit Trois restaurants in Southern California. Inspired by the show The Boys on Amazon, the blue color is meant to represent a chemical consumed by the show's main characters that leave them with super powers. While this drink won't help you fly, it will give you a boozy boost.
