So the Tangaroa Cooler I posted is basically just a spiced up version of a Gin Sour?

The recipe you listed might or might not have been altered from the original creation by Sam's bartenders in 2014. My version, confirmed, is as you have it only with 1/4 agave in it as well. The story behind it is that a former bartender at Sam's, Mike, was tinkering with a tropical version of a Greyhound (https://www.liquor.com/recipes/greyhound/) but it wasn't quite there. Kelly I believe offered some further tinkering and we have the drink that we have now. I logged this at the link below.
