What it tastes like
- bitter → sweet
- Sweetness leads, and it comes from agave syrup: the 18th sweetest of 186.
- round → sour
- A sour through and through: 5th of 186 for acidity, carried by fresh lime juice.
- light → strong
- No alcohol to speak of: 147 ml in the glass and under one degree, so it sits at the bottom of the axis with the other alcohol-free drinks.
