The Marvel Bar in Minneapolis has been serving rafts of Olivetos since it opened in 2011. At its heart, the drink is a Gin Sour, albeit with a couple of left-field touches—Licor 43 and extra virgin olive oil—that were once all the rage in craft cocktail circles. But there is magic in the mixture; the olive oil and egg white yield an unusual texture that elevates this sour above its fellows.
