Griffo Distillery
10.5% ABV /$ 20.38 for four cans of 8.5 ounces, visit
We are trying: a "Collins tomales" with gin, fresh lemon and orange juice and sirop jare with wild flowers. Copy of the sampling market (for "Whole Lotta Sun"): "This drink is like running through a field of wild flowers in a Citric forest directly followed by a Splash spontaneous Pacific Ocean "<< / P>
tasting notes: "Sunshine" was not like running in the ocean, more like relaxing in an Italian cafe on the sidewalk given the bitter notes of Amaro. Unlike many canned cocktails, it was not too sweet. He had pleasant citrus notes, but it is the digestive grass that ends each sip to better appreciate this flavor. The "Collins tomales" was less assertive with a citrus scent and a touch of softness without having teeth pain. A job stressed: "This is something that would control in a bar. It's more like a cocktail and very sparkling, which makes it refreshing." Griffo also received great praise for his design of floral packages with fruits and birds, which we agreed that it was "very feminine". 10% ABV / $ 17.99 to four 12-youter
Heather Wyatt entered the cabin tail trend early in 2013 with Salt Point de Mill Valley, named after a steep Pacific park that likes to Jenner. The brand has a wide range of cocktails, the most recent is a COD and a Margarita, and has a fun theme of sea theme, like a woman with a naval shell in her hair and a sea captain who turns by pipes. Pay attention to the label warning that there are two cocktails per box. We try: a greyhound with vodka, grapefruit and lemon; A Margarita with tequila, triple seg and Lima; A co -cod with vodka, blueberries and lime. Copy of the sampling market (for Margarita): "Now it is not necessary to buy tequila premium, triple dry and limas at an approximate cost of $ 80 and search for a place to store sticky disorder. » tasting notes: The variety of salt base spirits offers options to people who, they say, love tequila but avoid gin. Our tasters raised the eyebrows of certain fruit aromas. “The Moscow mule was spicy and slightly refreshing at the start. Now, however, my teeth feel that they wear a lime sweater, "said one. However, the two most recent offers eliminated him from the park, which suggests that Salt Point concerns the perfection of the formula. The COD COD brought us back to the University in a pleasant way with a mixture of vodka cranberry which avoided the quality jug of the ocean spray. And the Margarita was as sour and smoky as a drink mixed with a bar, with a nostalgic surprise: "It feels a blow that everyone did 20 years ago. A suicide bomber is all. " 8% ABV / $ 16 for a pack of four cans, visit
Copy of the sampling market (for the distillery): "Our distillation takes place in the German copper images imported from Spain. Each Copper Dimor Thrish creates a location so that the steam accumulates and returns in the pot in a unique way, creating characteristics in the distillate which are unique for each. » tasting notes: drink the mule made us achieve, if you want a real cocktail experience of a box, the gin is the way to follow; Vodka -based can lack alcohol flavor. This mule was quite pleasant, feeling the ginger, but it knew more under the name of Sprite with its sweet lemon. Like some of the other drinks we have tried, the GIMLET suggests that industry R&D has a way to follow in plant flavors. "You can tell me as a cucumber amateur, and I don't like this cucumber," said a taster. "It is an artificial tasting, and the artificial cucumber is strange." 3.5% ABV /approximately $ 15.99 for four 12.6 ounce bottles, visit
We tried it: lemon in the hand of Buddha, mandarin flower, lemon makrut and rosé. Copy of the sampling market: "Introduction of Hanganic Seltzers Hangar 1: Made with real ingredients and bottled in the glass. They are an adult and delicious way for Sethzer. ""
tasting notes: All the "real ingredients" which are here must be at the subatomic level, because they are seen and know regular seltzer water with only a smell of fruit. In fact, it made them quite refreshing, something delicate to drink with friends per day of 80 degrees. "It's a drink for those who don't want to drink. It's more color than the flavor," said a pink sample. "I think if I was 21, I would disappoint myself. He doesn't have a blow, "said another on the Buddha's hand." Do you remember the beer? It's like that, you could drink it all day and not be affected. "
