This apiritif lives up to all the hype. I am very surprised. I am a forever Chardonnay lover and have been working on decreasing how much I drink over the past few years. I can't believe I am saying this, but I have chosen Mother Root OVER a glass of Chardonnay numerous times for weeks...AND I LOVE this drink! I never cared for ginger or spice or fizz in my drinks and I love love love this drink. I actually look forward to making it and drinking it. I am thankful it has been created and made available here. Thank you!! My health is further improved because of this drink!!!
