Red bull seasonal edition: Fuji Apple & Ginger
Overall rating: oddly good.
The scent has that overpowering artificial-apple smell that a lot of novelty apple flavored sodas can't escape, so I wasn't expecting much. But it pulls it off! The apple is mellow, and the sweet notes are tempered by the spice and earth of the ginger.
In a lot of ways, this reminds me of the magic formula behind original red bull: a beautiful fusion of fruit and root that creates a balanced and lightly refreshing drink.
Paired into alcohol, I could easily see any vanilla-noted liquors bringing something seasonally extra, but I also think grenadine could pull it out of specifically autumn. It might enjoy the nuttiness of amaretto, but that would likely unbalance it without a third partner.
In homage to the humble jaegerbull, I'd want to look into using various spice liqueurs, particularly Jaeger or Drambuie, but I have a suspicion they'll overpower it.
