Im sorry to report that this chili lime flavor just didnt have enough of the flavor intensity that we were looking for. I think we need to lose the oj concentrate and replace the jalapeno with smoked ancho chipotle chilies and a little olive oil. But thats just my opinion / taste buds talkin. ( maybe some minced cilantro)
