ABOUT
This recipe comes from Matthias Soberon (@servedbysoberon) and named after the first woman in the Māori Legend of creation. The combo of rum and raspberry also refers to a 2009 study where scientists discovered ethyl formate in the center of our galaxy; a chemical with the taste of raspberries and smell of rum! Cheers y’all!
