Fred Yarm made Fenton's Phantom in 2017 for the low-proof menu at Loyal Nine in Cambridge, Massachusetts, building a summer Cobbler around Swedish punsch, a spirit found in 1930s drinks such as the Pimmeron and the Metexa. Lemon juice and orange bitters are added, and the drink is served over crushed ice. The name refers to Cambridge's former Fenton Shoe Factory, a large source of local jobs, while "Phantom" alludes to a mysterious past and the drink's lighter profile.
