Botanical Battle Royale 2025

Out from the depths comes Pufferfish’s "Sex Bob-omb", with a crazed and caffeinated espresso tonic turned cocktail. A duo of Wisconsin bourbons from J. Henry & Sons Small Batch & Wollersheim become entangled in a satisfyingly salted blend of Heirloom Liqueurs Espresso Martini, citrus and honey lifted above sea level by bitter and bubbly Top Note classic tonic.
