How do you review a spring break classic?
I know people really like this drink but it is most definitely not for me.
- I don't like alcoholic slushy drinks. They feel targeted to 20-year olds. I like frothy but usually not "slushy." There are exceptions.
- This is too sweet.
- The flavors blend into an unidentifiable mix of boozy sugar and fruit.
- Too much ice.
My personal rating: ** (2) out of ***** (5)
