I made a batch of these for some friends and I to enjoy on the deck on a steamy hot afternoon, and everyone really enjoyed them. I thought it was good and would probably order it at a bar. But everyone else really raved about them and had another. It has a slight citrus tang to it, but the cumin added a captivating touch, which is interesting because I would never have though to include cumin in a cocktail, but it really worked well though. Thanks, momaphet. We enjoyed these, and your recipe went home with a few of my friends! Made for Culinary Quest 2017 (Himalayas).
