"The primary liquors are vodka, gin, and absinthe, with brandy, and a just a little blackberry liqueur to give your palate some relief."
"There are stories floating around online that claim it dates back to the 1800s, and that it was named for an Alabama woman named Roberta."
"She supposedly fled an abusive home and worked as a cotton picker before becoming a moonshiner."
