I bought a couple of bottles from a local Sprouts store back in August or September when I was experimenting with making some "high volume" drinks where juicing would have been impractical. I had high hopes based on the 100% juice not from concentrate...but alas, this stuff tasted terrible! In cocktails, anyway. I tried it in a classic daiquiri and demerara cocktail and it tasted like bitter chemicals. had to pour out both. It was unusable.
