History
Beware: Although free of cane and beet sugar, this cocktail contains small amounts of fructose from the agave nectar used in the Agave Sec orange liqueur, as well as natural sugars in the lime and lemon juice. The cola falls and bleeds through the otherwise clear drink noticeably slower than full sugar cola, ending up looking remarkably like weak black tea. The taste is not far removed from spirit-laced weak tea with citrus fruit.
