A playful, chocolatey twist on bubble tea, this malty cocktail tempers Bols genever and crème de cacao with housemade Earl Grey tea-infused hemp milk, plus a spoonful of boba and a pinch of sea salt. As for the name, Canon’s Jamie Boudreau confirms that it did, indeed, stem from the South Park tune.
