History

Bourbon-laced almond milk with rich hazelnut and lemon freshness. Hazelnut syrup is key; roasted hazelnut syrup makes it tastier.

The name is inspired by the animated heist film The Nut Job, which features the character Surly the squirrel. Despite mixed reviews for the film, it provides a fitting name for a nutty cocktail. The name was not chosen to refer to a foolish or eccentric person.
