Lessons Learned

We've been working with this for a while. Here are some discoveries we've made.

  • Not what your rum & Coke drinker is looking for unless you’re adding lime.
  • Can get lost in a mojito, unless you add 1-2 oz fruit juice for a fun riff.
  • A good substitute, compliment, or split-base with Cachaça or Pisco.
