Not every drink has to tell a long story. Sometimes you just need a pour that fits the moment — easy, familiar, refreshing. Bourbon, cola, lime. Simple. But put that lime on the grill first, and suddenly you’ve taken a backyard staple and given it a signature.
That little touch of char on the wedge makes the aroma match the pit. It’s a reminder that simple doesn’t mean plain — it means you know what works.
