Created by Dan Q. Dao for Jack Daniels’ Black Book Volume 4.0, this refreshing summer-to-fall drink looks and feels like a tropical tea punch — using Portuguese Port wine, American applejack, and Jack Daniel's along with an Earl Grey syrup that nods to an English inspiration. The drink is named after a track on English producer Mura Masa's self-titled 2017 album; and the song riffs on a downtempo, romantic ballad with Caribbean steel drums and electronic influences, lending an easygoing playfulness that’s mirrored in the drink.
