From the lime, inspired by Lime Street Station in Liverpool to the Bourbon mist, which perfumes the drinks so guests can literally smell America on the horizon.”
The drink will make it’s debut on 4 July when Liverpool will the Queen Mary 2 will set sail from the banks of the Mersey headed for New York, re-enacting the first ever Transatlantic Crossing.
