Notes
We don't really have a history of this cocktail, other than assuming it was invented in Kansas City. That being said, a lot of cocktail are named after a city that they didn't start in.
Either way, we like the name of this cocktail! Kind of like with the Ranch Water, this cocktail sounds very unassuming, but it's a lot more thanks to a hefty kick of booze. So watch out, it's easy to enjoy one too many of these cocktail and end up having an early night.
