Frederic Yarm created the Trash Polka at Drink in Boston in 2022, starting from the Fernet Branca and Campari of a Ferrari cocktail combined with the build of a Red Hook. Maraschino brought the Improved Cocktail to mind and led to absinthe, after which Peychaud's Bitters and lemon oil gave the drink a Sazerac treatment. The name refers to Trash Polka, a German tattoo style built on black and red ink.
