Tasting Notes

I like to think that the giddy sunglasses-clad bro depicted on this label is Mike. Why yes, THAT Mike, of Mike’s Hard Lemonade fame, who grew up, realized that his namesake product is complete saccharine trash, and skipped town, humiliated. I like to think that he took a long, (Mike’s) hard look at himself, and set out to make something better than Crystal Light with an ABV. And I like to think that Testalonga El Bandito’s I Wish I Was A Ninja IS that something better. Essentially, it’s spiked lemonade that doesn’t suck. It’s chock-full of powerful, pulpy citrus creaminess, and all of the zappy refreshment you’d find within an industrial-sized tub of lemon Italian ice so cold it has fog billowing around it, with a touch of buttery Golden Delicious apple and frothy from as many bubbles as a McDonald’s medium fountain Coke.
