History

I've used a lot of semi-aromatic, high acid, herbaceous white wines here, to good effect. The original called for Marlborough Sauv Blanc, but I've also had good results with Loire Sauv, Franken Silvaner, and unoaked/modern styles of Verdejo.

  • Replaced habanero bitters with 1 dsh Cholula hot sauce and 1 dsh celery bitters. White wine was a Riesling/chardonnay blend but I think it worked nicely.
  • Cayenne/ Chili H20, Muddled cucumber...etc
