Bacardi Limon (was daydreaming I guess, thought I'd bought vodka) makes for an almost puckering, sour apple candy blast up front, though its bite mellows in the aftertaste. Unique, haha. (3 Oct 2023, 11:22a)

Very interesting. Quite tart and citrusy, but the almond still comes through somewhat. The apple juice did feel missing though.

Today I tried a tweak with Absolut Citron, yellow "Golden Kiwi" and Cranberry juice. Very nice result as the cranberry gives a slight hint of bitterness and a beautiful peachy color to this fruity cocktail. Depending on your orgeat it is possible to up it bit. I will call it Kiwi Crush No.2.

I did it again?. I used Tanqueray Rangpur Lime instead of Vodka. Works well, delicious but not very deep.
