- Mojito (cocktail)
- Margarita (cocktail)
- Lemon Drop (cocktail)

On the Palcohol website they teach how to prepare it and more information on the properties of the compounds.
The doubt is served:
Will it be possible to commercialize it? .
Will the authorities accept to commercialize these powders without their prior passage through the state coffers?
Are the properties that are described really healthy?
