A Little Tip from Stephanie

While I’m all about tequila, I can’t help but adore the playful twist moonshine brings to this drink. It’s a nod to David’s love for unique flavors and craft cocktails. If you’re feeling adventurous, try experimenting with different fruit garnishes or even a dash of bitters for an extra layer of complexity.
