TTB 2025. Made per package instructions, no add-ins. I don’t think this really needs any. It’s quite flavorful all on its own. I do find it a little odd that the description (and name) suggest that there’s white raspberries (or at least white raspberry flavor) in this, but white raspberries are nowhere to be found on the ingredients list. At best, that’s sloppiness; at worst, it’s an intentional mislead.
However, this actually is an enjoyable blend! Tart, almost jammy red berry with a very slightly creamy edge from the vanilla and a bit of heft that I assume comes from the base. Feels like this would be good hot or iced. Points for flavor, negative points for the disconnect between the name/description and the ingredients list.
