If a classic Daiquiri decided to trade in its beach chair for a bourbon barrel, you’d get something close to this.

The Lion’s Tail takes the bright, citrusy backbone you’d expect and layers in the warm, spiced depth of allspice dram.

It’s the cocktail equivalent of finding a fireplace in a beach house: unexpected, a little decadent, and suddenly the only place you want to be.
