History
This vibrant drink takes the classic rum sour and infuses it with the luscious sweetness of strawberry, then brightens it with a dry brut cider finish. The aged rum provides a backbone of warm, nuanced flavor, contrasting beautifully with the fresh fruit and zesty lime, making for a refreshing twist.
