Frederic Yarm created the Black Hand Society in Boston in 2025, drawing on the Gilda and the Ferrari (a Fernet and Campari combination) after trying the Ai Ono cocktail the night before. The name refers to a crime syndicate active in New Orleans around 1900, described in Herbert Asbury's "The French Quarter" for its blackmail and for threatening notes marked with black hands and crimson skulls. Fernet and Campari with pineapple, lime and cinnamon were chosen to match that dark imagery.
