The Nose
A remarkably fresh, unmistakable mint aroma, offering a convincing introduction to the promised mojito experience. Crisp, herbal, and pleasantly inviting.
The Palate
The initial sip delivers an intense sweetness, accompanied by a flavour that remains surprisingly difficult to identify. The promising mint aroma sets expectations that the palate struggles to fulfil.
The Finish
An unusual grassy character emerges, reminiscent of what I imagine fresh grass might taste like. A lingering menthol sensation leaves the mouth feeling distinctly cool.
The Verdict
An eccentric interpretation of the classic mojito. The refreshing mint aroma makes a promising first impression, but the excessive sweetness and peculiar grassy finish create a rather unconventional composition. Somehow, the combination remains enjoyable despite its questionable sense of direction.

The liquid presents an almost unnaturally vibrant, toxic-green hue. More reminiscent of a questionable laboratory experiment than a refreshing summer cocktail, though admittedly rather fitting for an energy drink.
