Yeah, try it, BooBe. My favorite is Cactus Jack. I tried zen master once and thought the cucumber slices made it smell kind of funny. But I don't know...a lot of people claim to like it.
Yum! Sooo excited to try these! Another idea for anyone looking is Ty Ku Liqueur. Not only is the bottle green but the liqueur is too! Mixes with pretty much anything too!
