History

The drink was invented ca. 2005 by an employee of social networking company Yelp, Inc.. Initially intended for member promotions, it remained on the menu at event venues and has enjoyed growing popularity in San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, and elsewhere. In taste and appearance it is comparable to a cosmopolitan but less sweet and more floral due to the gin.
