Plus, they're ambitious premade mixes to shoot for - zombie punch and jet pilot. I might try them just for the heck of it if they become easily findable.

Obviously the vanilla and Don's Mix #2 have their particular uses, but is anyone familiar with / has anyone used the lime cordial? Is it akin to Rose's Lime?

Been making great suffering bastards with it but have not taken a straight sip of it. More than lime and sugar though.

By dint of it being nothing like Rose's I'm inclined to give it a punt, in addition to the fact that the missus can bring Cock & Bull ginger beer home from work. Bastards will be suffering soon 'round our way. Cheers!
