Below is a rating from 1-10 for each drink, 1 indicating dislike and 10 indicating love. The favorites of the bunch are highlighted in yellow.  Emma ranked all hers with a 3 because she loved to write the number 3, but from her body language (ie. finishing the can of her favorite and refusing to finish the one she didn't like...we have her favorite and least favorite). Below each rating are a few collective descriptive words for each drink
