Afterglow

The Afterglow is an alcohol-free drink: 3 ingredients, shaken and served in a hurricane glass. That makes 254 ml in the glass: a long drink.

Ingredients

• 120 mlfresh orange juice
• 60 mlpineapple juice
• 20 mlgrenadine

Method

1. Fill the glass with ice.
2. Shake the juices and the grenadine with a few cubes and strain into the glass.

What it tastes like

bitter → sweet

Sweetness leads, and it comes from fresh orange juice: the 10th sweetest of 186.

round → sour

A sour through and through: 17th of 186 for acidity, carried by fresh orange 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 Planter's Punchless: 99 out of 100 for similarity.
