76/100

The short take

Ginger, lime, and a toffee hint in a 250 ml can. Honest about being a recipe, not a stripped rum cocktail. Better over ice than straight from the tin.

The drink

Ginger snap and lime zest open the can, with a soft caramel note underneath. The sip runs bright citrus, then ginger heat, then a toffee sweetness that reads more soda than spirit; carbonation carries what body there is. Close is short ginger and lime.

Better chilled over ice in a highball than straight from the tin. Thin notes, honest pour — do not ask it for more.
