Not Your Papa’s Hooch (Praise Be)
Sights: Rickey imagines that the Moonshine Sour would be the color of shame, if he ever felt such a thing. But with its deep, velvety magenta tinge, it looks about as delectable as any drink in a plastic cup can.
Smells: Rickey’s used to moonshine burning the delicate hairs off his nasal passages. However this drink smells like blackberries and lemon with a hint of orange. And while Rickey’s happy to safeguard his nostrils, he suspects there is no actual moonshine to be found here.
Tastes: Rickey cannot comment on the authenticity of the ingredients in this cocktail, but he can vouch for its complete and utter, transcendent deliciousness. The palate is not terribly complex, but it’s perfectly balanced between the sweetness of the berries and the tart notes from the blood orange and lemon. It’s also boozy enough to make Rickey’s whiskers twitch.
Feels: The mouthfeel is smooth and juicy with a medium body.
Rick’s Tricks: This drink is tart so rustle up some heartburn pills if you’re prone to such afflictions.
Overall: Rickey hails from a long line of moonshiners on the non-Mouse side of the family. And while he usually has a bit of a trauma response in the presence of homebrew, that’s not the case with the Moonshine Sour. Rickey definitely side-eyes the origins of the “moonshine”, but he also can’t guzzle this delightful concoction up fast enough.
