Though the name of this cocktail might play to one’s anxieties, its flavor is wonderfully mellow. This light and fruity concoction of Barndiva’s bar manager, Charles Rodenkirch, is an expert blend of two popular cocktails—Naked and Famous and Paper Plane—and the perfect papaya-hued platform for a liberal sprinkling of seasonal blooms to garnish.
