Lemon and cactus drink
While in Holland recently I came across a delightful drink with lemon and cactus flavouring. As you can imagine I had to have a bottle of it to try out. It had a picture of lemon and an opuntia pad on the front and tasted not quite standard lemonade so I assume the rest of the taste was opuntia. Anyway - it was very pleasant and I have kept the label as a souvenir.

Re: Lemon and cactus drink
Pity they don't do a lemon and Haworthia drink. I am sure it would taste foul, but at least get rid of a few!

Re: Lemon and cactus drink
Here in the USA, both Michelob and Anheuser-Busch have C&S related beer. The Michelob is lime & cactus (Opuntia) but haven't found it yet to try it. The Anheuser is called *Tequiza* with Agave and lime, which i have tried. It's good, but it's on the very lemoney side.

Re: Lemon and cactus drink
turns out to be a product from Belgium - Spa seems to be the name of the company.
