Vibe Check:
The Superfly Sour is smooth, slightly sweet, and packed with attitude—like Curtis Mayfield’s soundtrack to a 70s crime film. It’s got soul, it’s got funk, and it’s got just the right amount of bite.
Listen to: Curtis Mayfield – Superfly (1972)
Turn the lights down, let the bass groove take over, and sip on this rich, velvety cocktail while Superfly sets the mood. It’s pure 70s cool.
