History
This sour variation takes inspiration from the disorienting, endless yellow rooms of the Backrooms. The turmeric syrup provides a striking color and an earthy, slightly bitter undertone that makes the familiar sour profile feel just a little bit 'off,' much like the uncanny environment itself.
