In 1895, Butte saw its largest warehouse explosion. Jim, one of the fire horses at the time, miraculously survived the chaos but Dandy, another horse, did not make it. This drink is an ode to both of them and the work they did for our Community. As if having two different personalities, our Jim Dandy creates a sweet and sour combination in honor of both horses who worked tirelessly for Butte.
