Bar Notes
Batchability 4/5 (Collins Base = high-strength lemonade, batches perfectly), Throughput Fast (pour base, add ice, top soda - fastest bar mechanic), Survivability 3/5 (limiter is carbonation - becomes watery lemonade when flat, lacks Buck's spice to mask flatness). Refreshing, effervescent, lower ABV per sip.

The Story

A sour with lift. Carbonation and foam turn structure into something weightless and alive.
