The Industry Sour earned its name as a bartender's handshake—a bracing test of whether you belong behind the stick. It's an aggressive collision of bitter, herbal, and sour, with Fernet's menthol-and-bitter root intensity meeting the vegetal sweetness of Chartreuse head-on. The lime and sugar barely soften the blow, creating a drink that's medicinal, complex, and unapologetically challenging.
