Very similar to the Common Man cocktails, but they use sour mix instead of the lemon and lime juice. I think the tartness of the juices rounds out this sweet drink a lot better.

Dirty Bong Water offers a complex interplay of sweetness and sharpness, using a mix of amaretto, raspberry liqueur, and citrus juices to round out the tangy yet saccharine profile.
