Dude, you should totally try one of these, you can barely taste the alcohol! Awesome bro:

Not Awesome.

Drink 43: Rum Runner

Ingredients I used:

Fresh lime juice
Chambord Blackberry Liqueur
Marie Brizard Creme De Banna
Bacardi 151
Routine 1883 Grenadine

How do you review a spring break classic?

I know people really like this drink but it is most definitely not for me.

1. I don't like alcoholic slushy drinks. They feel targeted to 20-year olds. I like frothy but usually not "slushy." There are exceptions.
2. This is too sweet.
3. The flavors blend into an unidentifiable mix of boozy sugar and fruit.
4. Too much ice.

My personal rating: ** (2) out of ***** (5)
