Imagine a cherry cola cocktail with a rhubarb stalk swizzle stick and you’ll have a good idea of the bright vibe brought by this bottling. It nails the appellation’s signature cola/sassafras notes, keeping the cherry and rhubarb in balance with great acidity that pushes it all through a mouth-watering finish. It’s a great solo glass, or a fine Thanksgiving turkey partner.
