The good folk at The Amigo room in The Ace Palm Springs refer to this as “The Peeping Tom” I might be more inclined to call it a Tomato Mojito (because of the lime and mint) but if we’re be honest with ourselves, it’s probably closer to a margarita because of the tequila. Regardless, it’s

Standing over the old freestanding stove she’d whisk and boil with total precision until she produced pudding so good J-E-L-L-O dare not even speak it’s name.
