Shawn C created the Adak National Forest at home in Fresno, California, in 2023, taking the Alaska Forest cocktail as a starting point. The aim was a calmer drink closer to the classic Alaska, balancing green Chartreuse against a Douglas fir spirit while keeping the pine character intact. The name refers to the small, hardy pines of Adak, Alaska, which the creator remembered from time spent there.
