Crafted from kola nut, pimento berries, key limes, Sicilian lemon, and “vainilla fresca” (not clear how that’s completely different from vanilla), Fever-Tree’s spin on a traditional cola recipe doesn’t actually rock the boat of expectations, utilizing cane sugar to softly sweeten its iconic mixer. The flavour right here lands someplace between Pepsi and Coke, with ample vanilla and a stronger peppery high quality than Coke has, however much less sugar and a muted cinnamon/allspice notice.
The “Distillers” within the product identify refer to not the manufacturing of the product however its supposed goal: mixing with high-end whiskey and rum. That mentioned, the domineering taste of any cola tends to clean out a spirit, and I discovered that to be the case right here. In truth, the nuance of each the whiskey and the flavors of the cola received a little bit muddy when combined — however, you already know, that’s sort of the purpose while you’re mixing something with cola.
