The name caught my eye as Diamondback ratttlesnakes are a daily thought here. So while it was named after the turtle on the east coast, I think it’s fitting for the snake in the west—Smooth, strong, silky, potentially dangerous. “Boozy” doesn’t fit for me as I interpret that (perhaps incorrectly) as unbalanced and I feel this is balanced. But definitely a sipper. Really enjoyed it

I like how the almond comes through. Refreshing but not too tart. I agree that adding 1/2 lemon juice might be nice. Used steens cane syrup. Great on a hot 116 at 17:30 day—may need a couple more….

Wow. I enjoyed this. Did not feel Suze overpowered. Used rye and monte negro since I had them. Maybe a bit too tart but that could be my lemons. Refreshing on a 107 degree day
