What it tastes like
- bitter → sweet
- Sweetness leads, and it comes from cola: the 21st sweetest of 186.
- round → sour
- Citrus shows, but this is no sour: 31st of 186, and it comes from cola.
- 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.
Its closest neighbour is the Amaretto Sour analcolico: 99 out of 100 for similarity.
