  • 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!
