Liminal Shot
Layer ∙ 2 min ∙ 24.2% ABV ∙
The Liminal Shot is a three-part layered shot of grenadine, blue curaçao, and lime vodka, built to sit in distinct colored bands. Each band delivers a distinct hit before blending on the tongue: a bright citrus edge lands first, syrupy sweetness follows underneath, and it finishes crisp and cold.
