“Invigorating.” It wasn’t that it was invigorating per se, but for lack of a better word this would do. The experience was, as is often the case with this variety of beverage… bubbly. The flavor tingled its way into the budding receptors of my mouth, burned there by way of CO2. The advertisement claimed it was the ‘blast of citrus cherry flavor’ but one knows better. Citrus certainly has its own method of invigoration but this was a facade. The smiling, charming face of it a smooth, tasty, familiar spice, but the demon within was what really made its presence strong. Likely neither flavor would make a winning case on its own, but the combination worked in tandem… nay, in parallel, attacking from multiple angles to draw your attention from the truth while it sneaked in and fulfilled its dark purpose.
I’d like it better with ice.
