Bar Notes
Batchability 5/5 (using syrups instead of fresh fruit makes highly batchable), Throughput Fast (shake and pour over crushed ice), Survivability 3/5 (crushed ice dilution factor, but high-proof spirit base handles dilution better than wine-based Cobbler). Sweet/tart, fruity, potent. Sour served on crushed ice with fruit syrup.
