Review of Truly Getaway Pack:
Arctic Berry: Someone really needs to get with the marketing team at Truly, because when I think of the arctic, berries are not what comes to mind. Weather cold enough to freeze off my nipples, sure. Berries? Not so much. That being said, this is a delicious beverage. Light. Crisp. Berry. Really, arctic, though? Not enough here to freeze off nipples, so no.
Tropic Like It's Hot: I'm suspicious. They advertise that it is pineapple and "natural flavors", but I get a mild hint of that devil food coconut. So I'm suspicious. But once I got over my suspicion, I became paranoid that I was having gustatory hallucinations and that there was not any coconut and I promptly started to spiral. SEE? COCONUT IS THE DEVIL!!! But despite the mild psychosis and mental breakdown, this is actually a pretty good drink. End notes of pineapple, so there's that. Pairs well with dreams of the tropics and a strong desire to sing karaoke "Caribbean Amphibian" while downing Jerk chicken and fried plantains.
Mountain Pear-adise: Well, aren't you a delightful little beverage here? Lovely pear flavor. Refreshing. Like a cool mountain stream. The marketing team at Truly finally got its shit together here. This is a fancy drink, but fake fancy because it's a seltzer in a 12 pack of Truly's, not fucking Dom Perignon. Pairs well with a light charcuterie board. Cause you fancy. And if you're not...drink it with whatever the fuck you want to, it's just a delicious libation. End notes of fake Gucci purses and moissanite engagement rings and IDGAF.
Desert Orange: Aaaannnnddd...we are back to wtf does oranges have to do with the desert? They were so close to getting a 50% here, which I suppose is still failing so at this point, it doesn't matter. This beverage is carbonated Tang, but in a good way. Strong undercurrents of grade school and 80's drinks like Ectocooler and Mello Yellow and Squeez-its. May cause a strong craving for TCBY, Orange Julius, and Jello Pudding Pops. Oh, and those little ice cream cups with the wooden spoons. You must have the wooden spoons because otherwise it's just not the same. But really, oranges and the desert? Come on, now...
