The Acapulco Gold is an alcohol-free drink: 4 ingredients, shaken and served in a highball. That makes 254 ml in the glass: a long drink.

Ingredients

• 90 mlpineapple juice
• 50 mlgrape juice
• 30 mlcoconut cream
• 30 mlfresh cream

Method

1. Fill the glass with crushed ice.
2. Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into the glass.

What it tastes like

bitter → sweet

Sweetness leads, and it comes from pineapple juice: the 4th sweetest of 186.

round → sour

Acidity leaves it halfway: 93rd of 186, and the acid comes from pineapple juice.

light → strong

No alcohol to speak of: 254 ml in the glass and under one degree, so it sits at the bottom of the axis with the other alcohol-free drinks.

Its closest neighbour is the DBK: 97 out of 100 for similarity.
