  • Actions better in a different order. It is easier or cleaner strain the mixture onto the ice than to drop the ice into the mixture. Dropping ice into mixture causes splashes. Name 'Chinese Characters (Kanji)' unsuitable.

  • Fresh, mildly spicy. Creamy mouthfeel. Easy to drink. — ★★★★
  • More like a 1.5. Would make if only ingredients left in the house.
  • Made with Tempus Fugit. The lime acidity really reads as pleasantly complex in the company of these other ingredients. Would never in a million years think of putting these things together, but I have to say it works!

I was o_O on the lime + cacao, but it's pretty darn good. Huh.
