Dr. Pepper Zero Sugar

Sparkling water

My. Dew but I really don’t drink soda anymore. When I did it was my absolute favorite and I would drink it very often.

Anything ginger (ginger ale, ginger beer, spicy, not spicy) as long as it’s fizzy. Not all the time, these are treats.

Most root beer. A&W is solid. There’s one I don’t like with perfume undertones.

We make our own seltzer and it’s my favorite. But any ice cold seltzers will do.

If I’m in a restaurant and craving soda, I get a coke or diet coke.

In the US South, an ice cold Cheerwine made with cane sugar in a glass bottle.

I love weird and wonderful things. In Switzerland they have Rivella, made with milk whey. Deliciously refreshing.

In Czechia they have Kofola, the BuyEU poster drink. It looks like a cola drink but the taste is fairly different in a good way. They have cherry and lemon variants too!

I had the most delicious coconut flavoured fizzy water in Lanzarote, the brand name is Firgas, I believe it is a Canariense brand.

Japan has Calpis, don’t mind the name because this stuff is insanely good! It’s a tangy yoghurt based drink. The Korean equivalent is Milkis, equally delicious.

Talking about Korea, Lotte makes a pine bud drink (sorry can’t link to that one!) and it’s such an unusual and refreshing drink I really recommend it. They also have sikhye which is a drink made of fermented rice (amazake in Japan, jiuniang in China). And on the topic of rice drinks, Woongjin morning drink is superb, it’s a bit pricey outside of Korea but so worth it.

Now for the number one in my heart, the drink I could inject in my veins because I like it so much is Liptonic. It’s a fizzy ice tea and it’s a crime it’s not available everywhere.

Real Sugar Coke in a glass bottle by Coca-Cola.

Other than that, some fastfood places have their fountain coca-cola formulas mixed just perfectly so that its on-par with the aforementioned, sometimes even slightly better, but those fountain versions is not consistent and sometimes it could be worse depending om the day and probably depending on how fresh the syrup is. (Because sometimes I feel like its pumping out the last few drops of the cola syrup)

Probably ginger beer. I’ll even squeeze some lime in there if I want a Moscow mule hold the Moscow.

I’ve been craving a soda. I think I’m gonna take this as a sign to have one. Recently I’ve been making simple syrup and adding it to club soda. Today’s soda will be mint flavored

Dr Pepper pre-aspartame (or HFC).

Solo out of currently produced drinks.

I used to be a huge soda drinker when I was younger, but in my middle age I’ve almost entirely switched to seltzer with a little juice thrown in.
