I've tasted sumac and it is pretty sour. I'm amazed that you can drink this unsweetened! Interesting way to enjoy the fruit. I will have to try this. Thanks for the tip :)

Over here Poison Sumac grows in bushes, and will make some people {like me} break out in a rash like poison Ivy. I never heard of staghorn sumac. I guess its common in missouri. Sounds like a good drink, but I would be too nervous to try. Have A Great Day!
