The colour of the liquor is so damn beautiful. Why does this have to taste like a stevia-hater’s worst nightmare?

Those butterfly pea flower sweethearts, though. Before adding anything to the liquor, I’d say the colour is more like a blue-based purple than an indigo. It’s deep, yet vibrant. Interesting enough, pouring this over ice, or adding ice to it already changes the colour slightly. Methinks the pH level of your local water source can be a factor then too.

Taking a sip pre-lemon juice, it’s seriously stevia full of rage. Then add the fake berry flavouring and I’m starting to question whether this is safe for human consumption. This is supposed to be ingested, right? Are you sure? Because I’m beginning to think that someone slipped some new-age berry-scented Mr. Clean into a cup of ice and called it iced tea.

But I need to see this magic trick. Ok, so stir in some lemon juice. Cool. It’s turning a red-based purple now. More importantly, it’s tasting slightly better, as the acidic lemon is blanketing the stevia and artificial flavours to the best of its abilities. Still incredibly artificial but at least it’s not as sweet. Still an 11 on the sweetness factor, but hey, that number has come down quite substantially, scarily enough.

I weep for the dried kiwi in here. You poor bastards, I would have gladly enjoyed you fresh. Same goes for the other dried fruits in here. It just seems like such a waste when they’re covered up by their abominable teammates. What’s sad is this makes other blue raspberry-flavoured things seem normal. I’m actually one of those weirdos who doesn’t mind the blue raspberry Jolly Ranchers. I even bought a blue raspberry-flavoured lip scrub the other month and love it. This is in a category of its own and doesn’t even resemble blue raspberry. That’s how far off the grid the artificial is here.

Wait, so I was actually supposed to drink this? I’m still having a hard time believing this.
