I created the Perseverance Rover Cocktail to celebrate the successful landing of NASA's Perseverance Rover on Mars. It is essentially the hybrid of two more obscure cocktails, the Red Rover & Perseverance cocktails. A cocktail showing the color of Martian regolith!

Editor's Note

A split-base Boulevardier using both spicy rye and aged rum for a complex, spirit-forward profile. Campari gives it a bitter backbone and a striking, Martian-red hue.
