This is a cocktail from Matt Bax's very cool bar in Richmond, Der Raum. According to Bax: "It's a fresh fruit spin on the little-known 1920s hit; Izzy Einstein was the most famous and effective of the G-men or government agents during prohibition. He was known for his amazing variety of costumes and characters to fool unsuspecting speak-easy operators."
