History

This cocktail is named this way because its visual appearance really evokes that of a small brain floating in a glass! But don't panic: its taste has nothing to do with its appearance. It's the Baileys that, once dropped into the mixture of vodka and grenadine, turns into a small gelatinous shape resembling a brain. All that's left is to taste this mixture, which is sure to make an impression!
