The label on this shrink-wrapped can disorganized for the sake of appearing "wild" and "full of personality." In reality, it feels like the packaging for a sketchy delta-9 blunt a gas station would overcharge for. I have no idea what any of the visual elements have to do with "limeade," the alleged flavor; if my lime sprouted purple and green mushrooms, I would probably ask for a refund.
I am a pushover for citrus, lime in particular, but Ghost here fails to showcase the fruit's primary characteristic: sourness. Instead, mouthfuls are so sweet my palate began to have flashbacks to me as a stupid kid putting those synthetic sugar satchels in my mouth; this really is not terribly pleasant to sip through. Sucralose and ace-k are in charge of the sweetening and they go so far overboard you soon begin to forget the clear cocktail is supposed to be a limeade. Tartness is almost immediately cut-down by the fake carbohydrates, and all subsequent gulps just introduce more of that gross artificial saccharinity. Really, it becomes about all you can taste- where is the acidity!? Carbonation is equally disappointing, feeling like an obligation rather than a critical element of the experience.
We do get a rad 200 milligrams of caffeine, alongside familiar faces like taurine, vitamins, etc., which makes for a three hour long buzz that is easily the best and most consistent thing about Ghost x EDC Electric Limeade.
