Overall Impression
This offering from New York’s Avec, reminds me a bit of a tropical tiki cocktail minus the overly sweet one-tone quality of most alcoholic Tiki beverages. With only 6 grams of sugar and plenty of complexity, including hits of almond, chili and American oak, this drink delivers more flavor and fun without the guilt.

Chicago commuter train addition*
*On a recent trip to Chicago, I visited the amazing Bendicion Dry Bar and bought a bunch of RTD cocktails that I could not wait to open. So I tested them on the commuter train that night on my way back to the burbs where I was staying. Stay tuned for the upcoming on my trip!
