Wow, yummm. I took a sip before I poured it into the glass and thought, wow, that is strong and sour. But after I took a big gulp with the ice and salt, it all blended together perfectly creating the most amazing flavor. I loved it. Thank you so much for sharing another wonderful recipe Potpie. It's the first time I've tried one of these but it won't be the last. Made for Seaside Brasserie - 2020.
