  • Delicious riff on a sour — ★★★★
  • I followed a slightly Dif recipe. 3/4 oz... all changed to 1oz. Rest is the same. Pretty good. Made in honor of Chiefs on Super Bowl.

Tasty. I could see adapting this into a tall drink with rocks and soda.

However, the Democratic party symbol is a donkey not a mule.

Touché.  I have updated my previous error.  Cheers.
