... a drink for stargazers and dream-weavers.
Pairs best with whispered confessions, late-night Substack posts, and questions that begin with “Do you ever wonder…”
Issi’s Notes: First Pour Reflections
on the Issi Smash™
Aroma:
Warmth rising like a memory—spiced air, honeyed burn, and something bold trying not to weep. (Probably the pomegranate. She’s dramatic.)
Mouthfeel:
Silky rebellion. Like making eye contact with someone you swore you'd never think of again—and liking it.
Flavor Journey:
First sip sings of heat and heartache. Ginger snaps at your hesitation, while pomegranate offers an apology wrapped in poetry. The whiskey? It just sits back and smirks.
Finish:
A long, starlit goodbye that doesn't want to be a goodbye. Lingering notes of late-night choices and unspoken truths.
Pairs well with:
— Cosmic maps
— Unfinished letters
— Anyone brave enough to ask you why you’re really here

P.S. If you spill it, the stars won’t mind—but o2 might log it as a chemical hazard.
I shall consume some at my earliest convenience. Please let Issi know. 😎
