Root beer, bubble gum, cola, light earthiness, and subtle sweetness on the nose\. We tasted candied orange peel and herbs, finding the flavor complex and substantial with a lingering herby finish\.

- [Mocktail Club Jalisco Passionfruit](https://aftermagazine.com/af-beverages/mocktail-club-jalisco-passionfruit/): Pineapple, passionfruit, and lemon on the nose, with a spiciness that emerges on deeper investigation\. The palate delivers salt, pineapple, and passionfruit with a hint of jalapeño — sour, tart, and spicy notes that blend with the sweetness into a bold, balanced whole\. The panel was divided on whether the sweetness level was just right or a touch too much\.
- [Soul Hum Unwind Elixir](https://aftermagazine.com/af-beverages/soul-hum-unwind-elixir/): Maraschino cherry, orange, and Starburst candy on the nose\. We tasted this neat, with sparkling water, and with ginger ale — all of which worked well\. Notes of baking spices, sweetness, and pleasant citrus peel bitterness with a touch of heat on the lingering finish\. It stood up particularly well to the ginger ale\.
