Notes
Feel free to upsize this bad boy to jug size. We did. Worked great. Small note, remember to leave the ice outside the drink and add when you pour the cocktail. Oh, and as you're serving it, make sure to stir it up some, just to make sure you have fully combined flavors -- don't want any super spicy, non-boozy cocktails.
