Description
The mild spicy tingle of the rye and ginger combine with the carbonation and produce a tingle on the palate right off the bat. As suggested by the ginger and lime, the flavors here are pretty similar to a Moscow Mule. The rye does add some extra spice, or even a “funk,” as well as an omnipresent vanilla-type flavor that I could honestly have done without. I’m not going to claim any expertise in product development–I’m not even that proficient as an at-home mixologist–but I’ve tried several beverages in this sort of “whiskey-mule” genre as the canned cocktail trend picks up momentum and at this point I just don’t think that humanity has developed the technology to make this work.
