My OperaTrying a new Tequila soda Bebida (beverage) written in real time as I gather impressions.

Something pursuaded me to purchase Paloma Real Charro Negro. It´s some sort of nefarious tequila cola, 5.5% alcohol. The cost was 12 peso (about $1.20). The smell is something like rum and coke, only sweeter. The colour, far from being negro, is lighter than regular cola, something like strong icedtea.
Here goes the first taste
:sluuuurp: ´cuse me . Actually not too bad. The alcoholic taste hits first, followed by a sweet cola taste. It´s hard to make out that the alcohol is tequila, though. After a couple more drinks, the taste is growing on me. I feel like I´m drinking something more alcoholic than 5.5%.
I do have a complaint though. This losses it carbonation too quickly. But I get they only wanted light carbonation because when you mix coke and alcohol, the result is less carbonated than just coke by itself.
As I drink it down, the carbonation is becoming a biggier issue. It taste kind of flat and very sweet now. I´m getting a slight buzz now, probably because I´m drinking it realively quickly.
:final drink:
The verdict: Not bad, but nothing too exciting either. It needs either more carbonation or to be sold in a smaller bottle. Of course there´s always the possiblity that you´re not supposed to just drink it like a soda, but maybe drink shots of it?
I give this three raccoons out of a possible 5.
ps
I took a picture of the bottle, I´ll post it if I can find a economical way to transfer the pictures to a computer. (If the internet connection is present on a phone, you should be able to use it instead of idiotic artifical restrictions placed by the carriers and possibly the governments)
