Raised By Wolves San Diego Painkiller riff Mild Sedative
Two Saturdays ago, I searched my list of cocktails to make for another use of my Coco Lopez stash, and I honed in on the Mild Sedative – a Painkiller riff at Raised by Wolves in San Diego that I found via online recipe flashcards. The menu description from 2021 read as follows, "We're walking the path paved by the classic Painkiller. Layers upon layers to be found in this tropical sipper that toes the line between decadence and crisp citrus refreshment." With peach, passion fruit, and lime added to the classic that I had experienced once before in the Nautilus (albeit with other fruit flavors in the mix), I was curious to taste Raised by Wolves' version. Fully garnished, it gave forth an orange and mint aroma. Next, a creamy orange and lime sip was smoothed off with rum, coconut, peach, and passion fruit flavors on the swallow.
