  • Light drink. Color eh. Kind of Rose color
  • Pretty clear amber color. This grew on me, started tasting better when I stopped thinking of it as a martini twisted in a weird direction, and started thinking of it as a rum/apricot drink with some sophistication to it.

  • Startlingly intense yellow. Pleasant lemony nose. Bubbles lighten the texture. Sip is like a mashup of a Tom Collins and a whiskey sour. Quinine and pepper in finish.
