Review

A bourbon lime sour, the deliciousness of which depends on the quality of your grenadine and appreciation of fernet.

Might seem silly to say, but this is a corny-tasting riff on a Jack Rose. I might warm up to it after tweaking the specs, but the balance is actually pretty stellar. I thought I wasn’t tasting the Fernet, but it does stealthily bloom in the aftertaste. Eh, I'll play with this.
