Just received a sampler pack of the Mixers as a gift and I have to say mixed reviews.

The Zombie is ok, very heavy flavor of pernod. The Jet Pilot follows right behind, just doesn't have the grenadine flavor as expected

The Mai Tai mix wasn't good. The mix smells like Rose's Lime Juice and it has a very syrupy taste.

Any other experience the same?

I got them all when they first came out, and ended up pouring them all down the drain. Nice concept, and I have bought Reynold's syrups over the years, but I found the mixers to taste artificial and acrid.

One caveat, I now make all my own syrups (with the sole exception of Orgeat - for that I use Latitude 29's) so maybe my tastebuds have just gotten used to natural flavors. So your results may vary.
