The Incredible Hulk cocktail originated in the early 2000s in New York City, specifically at a launch party for Hpnotiq liqueur. Bartenders noticed that men were hesitant to order the bright blue Hpnotiq, so they mixed it with Hennessy cognac to create a more 'masculine' drink. The resulting green color inspired the drink’s superhero name, and the bold combination quickly became a staple at hip-hop clubs and parties across the country.
No garnish is traditional, as the drink’s green color is the visual highlight. However, a lime wheel on the rim can add a splash of contrast and a hint of citrus aroma.
