Very easy going drink, perfect for someone who hates alcohol but wants to drink anyway. For me though, even with a wet palate, very boring.

I prefer it with blended whisky, I think the taste is more balanced than with bourbon.

The lemon/lime flavors paired quite well with Thanksgiving turkey dinner. Simple but quite refreshing.
