After the first glass I forgot all about the taste and the fact that it's essentially half strength vodka. A few more glasses, cue being sick in TheLevellers house. Sorry!

It has just a hint of alcohol, so it's more of a refreshing drink than booze. And it's cheap as hell, just pineapple peelings, raw sugar, cinnamon and white cloves fermented for a couple of days.
