Tasting notes

  1. 01

    Nose

    Ginger snap and lime zest, with a soft caramel note from the dark-cane replica underneath.

  2. 02

    Palate

    Bright citrus, then ginger heat, then a toffee sweetness that is more soda than spirit. Carbonation does the work ethanol would.

  3. 03

    Finish

    Short ginger and lime.

The sugar hangs a beat longer than a proper mule. Ginger, lime, and a toffee hint in a 250 ml can. Honest about being a recipe, not a stripped rum cocktail.
