The flavorful condiment packs a punch, is quite smoky and tastes great with beer, non-alcoholic beer included. The drink certainly has a lot going on flavor-wise but yet there is something undeniably refreshing about it. And if that doesn't sound interesting enough, each glass is garnished with a combination of smoked paprika, ground cumin, and salt which serves as a tasty preview of all the flavor to come.
