HISTORY:
This drink was created for our Cellar Bar menu 50 Years of Hip Hop, for which we took inspiration from some of our favourite tracks from half a century of this iconic genre. The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly) is named after the 1997 hit by Missy Elliot featuring an iconic Ann Peebles sample.

Playing off the ‘Fly’ motif of the song, we modelled this cocktail after a Paper Plane, a modern classic and industry favourite which usually features bourbon, Aperol, amaro and lemon. In place of bourbon we chose to use Axia Mastiha, a traditional greek spirit distilled from the sap of the mastic tree and in place of Aperol we’ve gone with the original Venetian Aperitivo; Select.

The Last Word, this drink’s predecessor, is a drink dating back to the 1910s that itself is a riff on another, even older classic cocktail, the Corpse Reviver No. 2. Both these drinks are based on an equal parts recipe of four ingredients - a base, two modifiers and a citrus. This has become the formula for a whole host of delicious preprandial cocktails which have gone on to become industry favourites.
