Excellent et subtile....
Il n'y a pas un ingrédient qui prend le dessus sur les autres.
Un beau mariage de saveur.

Made two of these side by side. One with freshly squeezed line juice and one with Pseudo Juice using the STB recipe. Indistinguishable! Nicely refreshing with the aforementioned bitter/sour/sweet profile. A new favorite cocktail using Suze.
