Welcome back to another Happy Lemon Taste-Test! If you are new, this is a series where we try new drinks from Happy Lemon and rate them. The goal is to find new drinks we can order and to break out of our habit of ordering the same thing every time. Here is what we ordered this time!
Maya Bourne:
Order: Dragonfruit Yakult Smoothie
Rating: 7.75/10
This drink was nothing special. It tasted a lot like plain vanilla yogurt, which would make sense because it is a yogurt-based smoothie, but there were no other flavors to take over and bring that extra something that the drink lacked. In addition, this smoothie tasted very sweet, and yes, I got it 75% sweet, so I wasn’t expecting the level of overwhelming sweetness I encountered. Despite the overly-sweet nature of the drink, however, it was still a nice and refreshing drink to have, so I would definitely get it again, just with a lower sweetness level.
Delaney Pound:
Order: Grapefruit Lemon Slushy
Rating: 9/10
Wow! This is an amazing drink! At first, I was worried I would hate it because grapefruit is not my favorite, but it was really good in this drink. Usually, grapefruit is very bitter and unenjoyable for a lot of people for that reason, but the drink is sweet. Like most drinks, you can adjust the sweetness level if you prefer an unsweetened drink, but since it is slushy, the ice level cannot be adjusted. The citrus flavors go very well together, and the lychee jelly that comes inside is a nice touch. Overall, I rate this drink a 9/10! I even went back the next day to try it again, so this will definitely be a regular order for me now!
