“With every sip, you’re reminded that DeVito is the kind of actor who defies expectations — who can make you laugh one minute and leave you thinking the next,” says Judith. “Like him, this cocktail takes you on a wild ride, where nothing is ever quite what it seems, but everything is unforgettable. Where simplicity meets complexity.”
