Some sort of nice flavors going on but, between the Ceylon cinnamon, Siete Misterios, and Salers, there's just a strange inflection to its bitterness and mouth feel. I'm not sure the demerara is appropriate either. Why not use agave? And I'm feeling like a proper half sour pickle is preferable over straight cukes.
