Fentimans Mandarin and Seville Orange Jigger

Another one of the fentimans. I have a lot to get through.

Appearance


The soda is a brilliant orange. It's really quite pretty. And, obligatory, the bottle is gorgeous.

Appearance Score

9/10

Taste

The taste is reminiscent of my favorite childhood drink, the "wave bender". A wave bender is orange juice with seltzer or sprite and grenadine. It's delicious, and I make it for myself anytime I have the ingredients. The jigger is very similar to that, with the hint of bitter seltzer and a nice round grenadine-ish start. At the end, though, it tastes more adult and alcoholic. Probably because the ginger in it is fermented. You know. Logically like that. Overall, its excellent.  

Taste Score

8/10 Pretty Good. I like it a lot.
