Leave your business in the front. Makfam’s low-ABV Sweet-Talking Mullet is fresh, juicy, and ripe for day drinking.
“The first words that come to mind are juicy and fresh. But what is most interesting is the profile of the winter melon. It’s a combination of cucumber and starch, like cucumber water but with more body.” —Grace Tomczak, bar manager, Makfam
