Practical notes

When to choose it

How to decide if Pink Moon is right for you

Pink Moon is best when you want brightness and a clean tart edge. Choose it if citrus balance matters more than richness, creaminess or heavy sweetness. The listed serve is about 18.4% ABV, so strength is part of the decision.

Skip if

Skip Pink Moon if...

Skip Pink Moon if tart citrus is not what you want. Sour-style drinks rely on acidity, so they can feel sharp when you are looking for richness or sweetness.
