History
The Incredible Hulk cocktail, also known as Green Eyed Monster, Shrock, or Hip and Hen, is a green-colored cocktail made by equal parts of Hpnotiq fruit liqueur and Hennessy brand cognac poured over ice. It is named after the Marvel Comics character Hulk, who is sometimes referred to as the Incredible Hulk.
The origins of the Incredible Hulk cocktail can be traced back to New York City in the early 2000s at Justin’s Restaurant, owned by Seam Combs aka Puff Daddy. The club was hosting a promotional party for Hpnotiq, and a patron drank it mixed with Hennessy. The resulting green color reminded patrons of the Incredible Hulk, and the drink became an instant hit.
The Incredible Hulk cocktail quickly gained popularity in the club scene and became a staple drink for many party-goers. It was even featured in rap songs and music videos. The drink’s popularity eventually spread beyond New York City and became a nationwide phenomenon.
