“So? What do you think?”

“Meh. It’s okay. Needs to be sweeter.”

The Verdict: Meh.

From The Tasting Notes –

The recipe card indicated that Rose’s Lime juice might be a better choice for this drink than fresh lime juice, and we would have to agree. If the drink would have been a little sweeter, it would have been better. The cucumber garnish seems ridiculous, but it actually works. It provides more aroma than it does flavor, but it still enhances the drink. Overall, the drink is a bit strong and fruity, but not very sweet. We probably wouldn’t make this one again, but if someone offered it to us at a party we would drink it. As far as drinks with sloe gin in them go, this was an okay one.
