A Tequila one sounds good!
I’m getting a lot of fun out of Xmas Red. Even did a tequila one on the second round tonight.
Yes they add a little sugar..and God Jul right back Rowen!
In a carton—interesting. In the US, it’s bottled. Do they add sugar?
Rowen, i buy my cranberry juice in the carton, its 100% cranberry juice (with water i guess). Hope this helps?
Forgot to ask: is the cranberry juice is full-strength or cranberry “cocktail”?
I can’t wait to try the Xmas Red. God Jul!
No problem, i recognize you from the MOR btw, i`ll add your site in my links as well.
Cheers!
Hi there Tiare.
You have an interesting site, dedicated to an aspect of spirits I don’t know much about. Your research on articles beyond the cocktails is particularly interesting.
Our site reviews rums, whiskies and books (I do most of the rums, the founder the whiskies). Given your take on drinks, I’d like to link to your site from our own, if I may.
