The “tigers” were “blind” because the authorities, at least officially, did not know they existed. Currently, Blind Tiger is available in 16 oz and 32 oz Boston round glass bottles. These spirit free drinks also serve as an easy mixer, and are currently available in four distinct flavors (with a story behind each name): 1) Ward 8 - A smoky citrus drink with notes of apple, orange, and cherry. 2) The Bee’s Knees - Featuring a bright lemon flavor, slightly sweet with honey and hints of juniper. 3) The Sidecar - A balance of sweet and sour, with notes of organic cane sugar, orange, b...
