Cold Brew!
Honestly, this may have been the biggest let down of the three Sayso flavours I’ve tried so far. I cold brewed in straight into some tonic water, and it was very bright and sour with a strong fresh lime flavour. I have to say, across the board the lime in these beverages is preeetttyyyy intense. Definitely no skimping on that flavour. It, of course, makes the most sense for this flavour though. And I enjoyed that element a lot. It was margarita-like in the way that bottled margarita premixes are. No disappointment on that count.
The let down was in the “spice” element. I feel like this should have been pretty easy to execute but, unfortunately, I didn’t really taste any spices at all or feel any sensation of heat. It was more like I was just drinking a regular margarita. And what I really wanted was the balance of sour, salt, and spice. Where was the jalapeno? The chili? I’ve learned that these sachets need longer steep times than advertised to get the most out of their spices, but I gave this a prettttyyyy long steep time and it still didn’t pull anything out in that regard. Womp womp.
Once I got over my disappointment I did enjoy the refreshing sparkling margarita though…
