I love a Last Word and love a sour. This doesn’t disappoint. Tastes like a Granny Smith apple.

Would not change a thing. I love a Last Word, this riff is just as good! Highly recommend.

Simon, this is too delicious! I might like it even more than the Last Word. I will have to try to do something similar with the riff on the last word that has mezcal in it.
