Versions

v1 · current 27 Oct 2026
Original, based on the squash sour at Antidote Foodlab

First version

Rivalled the one I had at Antidote Foodlab (Canada's 96th-best restaurant in 2016). The first sip definitely tasted of squash, though I wouldn't have minded more. The nutmeg on top was pretty but a bit heavy on the nose.

Verdict
Tweak it

Next time
A dash of Peychaud's in the drink, more squash, lighter on the nutmeg
