I found the most delicious flavored soda (pop for those so inclined to call it that) today

[Arcanetrance]

It's blackcurrant and elderberry flower flavored. That leads me to ask what types of soda people here like if they drink soda

[blogslut]

1. Don't drink a lot of soda

But I like most kinds with my favorites being ginger ale, rootbeer and tonic. Shasta used to make a wonderful apple soda that I loved.

I had to give up all tea forever and have been making do by drinking this yummy stuff:

[Arcanetrance]

4. Jarritos Tamarindo soda is really good

[blogslut]

6. I should buy some sometime just to see.

It sits on the shelves just below the Klass mixes. Hope I don't get hooked. The powdered mix, while not fizzy, is more fitting for my budget.

[marzipanni]

12. Buy a bottle of soda water to mix with any drink mix

if you feel like something fizzy. We did that with frozen lemonade, grape juice, cranberry juice, etc. instead of soda.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

25. Using some of those new water enhancers they have out now.

They have some great ones out there. One of my favorites is Cherry Lime!

Ends up being less expensive, and less calories than some of the sodas out there.

[woodsprite]

27. Talk about mixing it with a drink mix - I just discovered TrueLime Black cherry limeade powder

It is awesome, but used full strength, I think it would be very strong. I only use a half tube for 8-12oz of water. Never thought to mix it with seltzer water. I'll try that tonight.

BTW, it's sweetened with Stevia and says it's 10 cals per mixed tube, so it's definitely better than me breaking down and getting a soda in the afternoon.

Edited to add: OMG! I just found out they have TrueGrapefruit as well. I haven't seen it in the stores, but I can order it from Amazon

[marzipanni]

29. Glad to know about it! Last summer I was looking for non-aspartame flavorings to add to water

or soda water. I have some to-go packets of Lipton decaf iced black tea/half berry lemonade. The first ingredient is honey/sugar granules yet it has that overly-sweetened taste because it also has sucralose for sweetener. Splenda is sucralose- it's incredibly sweet and I'd much rather consume Stevia because it isn't artificial. I only add a bit to water, too, or it's way too sweet.
I prefer lemonade, but use way less than the normal mix.

[woodsprite]

33. I've seen TrueLemon and TrueLemon/Raspberry in our stores

Haven't tried them though. They also have a TrueOrange.

I have tried (through my son's pleading) a lot of the various water 'drops' or the other packets of single serving mixes on the shelves these days. Anything with Splenda just seems to have an astringent quality to me and catches in my throat. I really love the flavor of Hawaiian Punch grape, but can't get past that catching in my throat. I haven't experienced it with this Black Cherry Limeade, probably because of the Stevia.

[kurtzapril4]

43. True Lemon, orange and lime

Are the bomb! I use the packets as a drink, of course. I have also used it to cook with. Good stuff, worth the money, and they used to send tons of free packets so you can check them out.

[Codeine]

15. It's the only soda I drink anymore.

I allow myself two a week. Such a unique product.

[blueamy66]

23. I'm addicted to Pina.

Yummy!

[shenmue]

2. There's a celery-flavored soda

Got it in a deli in New York once. It really did taste like celery.

[Arcanetrance]

3. I've seen it and won't try it I dislike celery normally

[KamaAina]

5. Ah yes, Dr. Brown's.

Not sure I ever tried it in my NYC days. They do, however, also make a tasty cream soda.

[Taitertots]

7. Laziza Raspberry

http://www.hashems.com/store/beverages/laziza-beer-raspberry
It is a non-fermented malt beverage.

[Arcanetrance]

10. I'm gonna order some of that

[politicat]

8. One I make - cinnamon roll.

No sugar in this house, so Torani sugar-free syrups are beloved.

3 pumps of Torani SF brown sugar & cinnamon syrup into 8-12 ounces soda water/sparkling water plus 2 TB half & half.

Mix gently.

(The SF lemon makes perfect french style lemonade when added to soda.)

That black currant & elderflower sounds delicious, though. Those are my 3rd and 4th favorite flavors, right behind cinnamon (obviously) and lemon. I may have to grab some flavorings and get mixing.

[Arcanetrance]

9. That sounds interesting I will have to try and make it do you use one of those sodastream things

[politicat]

11. Actually, I'm too lazy even for that.

Though I probably will buy one eventually. At the moment, the sparkling water of choice is San pellegrino, because it's not expensive at my local costco and it comes in glass. It's the only bottled water I buy, and I don't buy much (a case lasts 2-3 months.) I have suspicions about plastic.

We also have an old style soda siphon that uses the carbon dioxide cartridges; I use that from time to time, but for the most part, I use the CO2 cartridges on my bike tires.

[OriginalGeek]

13. I rarely drink soda any more

but when I do, it's peach, strawberry or raspberry Fanta from the machine at Firehouse subs that has like a hundred flavors in it.


On a side note, I love Magic Hat's Elder Betty beer. it's an elderberry weiss beer.

[Arcanetrance]

14. I did not know that beer existed thank you I shall look for it on my next trip for alcohol

[OriginalGeek]

16. It's a summer seasonal

so it should be coming out any day now.

[sendero]

46. I want some..

... of what whoever created that label is having

[yuiyoshida]

17. When I was a kid I liked Shasta Grape Soda...

I don't drink soda any longer.

[LumosMaxima]

18. Grape was my favorite when I was a kid, too.

Now I drink mostly Coke.

[dr.strangelove]

19. Disney World's World of Soda

I went to Disney recently with the family and was surprised by a "soda from around the world" exhibit. Coke was the sponsor and it served sodas from different places. Some were odd flavors to me, others were very good to me. I loved one from Peru that tasted like bubblegum. But my favorite was the Fanta Pineapple flavor.

[lame54]

20. Blood Orange

[Arcanetrance]

21. That's still probably my number one flavor

[geardaddy]

35. MMM..... yes.

[Ohio Joe]

22. I'm not a big soda drinkers but... there is a Strawberry, Rhubarb & Agave soda I like...

It's made local here in Denver and is very good.

[Brother Buzz]

24. RC Cola

[Arugula Latte]

26. I don't drink soda, but lately my husband has been loving this stuff -- Dry Soda

"Dry" as in not too sweet. Some of the flavors are unique.

[Arcanetrance]

28. I think I'd like those. I prefer flavors that aren't overly sweet

[geardaddy]

37. I tried the juniper one and was disappointed

I was expecting more juniper flavor.

[RebelOne]

38. I never drink soda, but those flavors look interesting,

especially the dry feature. I'll look for them at my local Kroger.

[Raffi Ella]

30. Seagram's Gingerale.

[RandoLoodie]

31. Beer

[MynameisBlarney]

32. I don't always drink sodas...

But when I do, it's San Pellegrino Grapefruit Soda.

I have nothing else as refreshing as that. EVAR!

[SiobhanClancy]

53. I'm loving the San Pellegrino Aranciata Rossa (Blood Orange)....

I think I'm going to have to try the grapefruit next

[MynameisBlarney]

54. I tried it

It's way too sweet for my tastes.
The Grapefruit is tart, no doubt, but it tastes great to me.

[woodsprite]

34. I love Vernor's Ginger Ale

It's got a nice robust ginger taste.

[Arcanetrance]

40. My favorite ginger ale.

[geardaddy]

36. That sounds delicious

I don't drink a lot of soda, except for charged water that we make.

This one's nice:

Tastes like a nice spicy root beer.

[Arcanetrance]

39. I'm gonna have to try that

[kcass1954]

41. I don't drink much soda anymore. When I do, it's usually Colita or Inca Kola.

I can buy them both in Publix now. But I usually get them when I grab something off a food truck.

[nomorenomore08]

42. Fanta strawberry and pineapple are probably my favorites right now.

I've managed to cut my soda consumption to maybe a couple 20-ouncers a week, though I've "compensated" for that by drinking more fruit juice and iced tea.

[ArnoldLayne]

44. You mean Pop don't you?

[Capt. Obvious]

45. Beverly

[LynneSin]

47. If I drink soda I may have the occassional Birch Beer

But in general I do not like soda. When I was a young child my mother gave me sprite and I proceeded to puke it back up on her. Since then I've avoided soda in general.

[Arcanetrance]

48. I don't blame your for puking up sprite

It's too sweet for what a lemon lime soda should be at least to me. I enjoy birch beer but you don't see it around often so I usually get root beer

[LynneSin]

49. I live near Pennsylvania so this is pretty easy to find and quite tasty

Most ACME markets carry it

[Arcanetrance]

50. Since I moved to Texas I haven't seen it except in one restaurant actually

When I lived in NJ and NYC I found it easier but there were other sodas that I drank that were regional that I preferred such as a Manhattan special which is espresso soda so I still didn't drink birch beer that often lol

[Godhumor]

51. You might want to fix that typo... you spelled "pop" as "soda"

I like Pepsi Throwback.

[Arcanetrance]

52. Lol since it's the second such petition to do so I will amend it

[hedgehog]

55. You need to get to Buffalo sometime and try this:

[Purrfessor]

56. Canfield's Chocolate Fudge soda...

When I lived in San Francisco I used to buy this from a little store on Sloat Blvd., out near the zoo. It is very good.

http://www.amazon.com/Canfields-Soda-Chocolate-Fudge-6-Count/dp/B0005YN6VG

[GoCubsGo]

57. The Cherry-Fudge is even better!

http://www.amazon.com/Canfields-Cherry-Chocolate-Fudge-12-ounces/dp/B001SAZX1M

[Purrfessor]

59. I will give it a try when it's available.

I just ordered a case of the chocolate fudge. Trying to think of a place to hide it from the kids when it arrives.

[LadyHawkAZ]

58. Mexican Coke or Pepsi n/t
