The cuke comes through just enough to balance the lime with some cooling flavor. GSN Rating: Aįresh Victor Cold-Pressed Cucumber & Lime Juice Mixer – Really nice. This liquid is conducive to contemplation and relaxation. The flavor is somewhat difficult to decribe. Surprisingly, there is no ginger heat, but rather a funky flavor of wet grasses and herbs.

Try it in rum, tequila, bourbon or even Calvados for a unique flavor twist. GSN Rating: A+ĭignity Raw Coconut Oil – This is a great oil to use in fat washing a spirit.
