| Tasting Notes: |
Our take on a bourbon sour, that celebrates the sharp sour notes of fresh blood oranges, with hints of fennel & lemon peel (from Pinot noir float). Perfect to enjoy with citrus forward summer dishes, ceviche, dark green greens like arugula, and beet salad.

| The Backstory: |
After the recent disasters to hit the American Riviera, our community came together in the most beautiful way to support one another in the midst of chaos. Today, Santa Barbara stands stronger together than before, and we are reminded of its beauty on a daily basis.
