What we can give you is our thoughts on this one. Our sample resulted in a beautiful presentation with layers of colors. The ingredients alone tell you right away that this is going to be a nice concoction. It is light, refreshing, and easy to enjoy. There are surprising tones of grapefruit, perhaps a result of the lemon cutting the sweet tone of the Cherry Heering.
