Appetite for Destruction was American hard rock band Guns N’ Roses’ debut solo album, and is the name of the 13th cocktail in our 2023 Summer Concert Cocktail series. It took about a year after its initial release in July of 1987 for the LP to succeed. But we think this cocktail will be an immediate hit with those who choose to imbibe.
