Story and flavor
A rye-driven variation on a classic sour that leans into the spirit’s spicy, grainy backbone. Emerging as bartenders began swapping base spirits to suit American palates, this version trades smoothness for structure—peppery rye spice layered with bright citrus and a restrained sweetness, finishing drier, sharper, and more assertive than its predecessor.
