B. Monday –Tequila, to me, always tastes dusty. That taste works well w/ the sweet tastes in this drink as well. The drink name made me think it would be spicy – but it’s just naughty. 4.5

Sapphi – as with coconut, I also have an aversion to tequila. The reasons for the aversion are vastly different, yet still are there.  This drink is a positive step forward in my tequila therapy. 4.0

“M” – WOW BABY – YEAH I love tequila, LOVE, usually straight, but this mixture is an all-new way to indulge in my tequila addiction! Love it 5

W.D. – Tequila – I always forget that I really do like it. Just the right amount of sweetness. 4

firefly- This is a wonderful drink, sweet, spicy and fizzy. 5
