“Be careful what you wish for, you may just get it.”
This drink was named after the short story by W. W. Jacobs. The story is a fable of sorts with a lesson that interfering with fate has its consequences. The paw from a dead monkey brought three wishes to those who found it, however, never the way they hoped. This drink is delicious yet stronger than you’d imagine. The results of drinking a few of these may be a little more than you bargained for.
