Now here's something interesting

I’m not one for soda.  I often find the typical sugary carbonated drinks to be unpleasant to say the least.  When I recently discovered DRY Soda I was thrilled.  I have to say that so far, I haven’t discovered a flavor that resonates with me; but this is a product I couldn’t fail to mention. 

First off, the packaging and bottle design grabbed me by the eyes and reeled me in.  Once I learned more about this “re-imagined” and all natural soda, consisting of only four ingredients, I was sold. 

The primary letdown for me was the fact that the two flavors I did taste weren’t worth jumping up and down over.  In fact, they tasted strangely tart, even bitter.  No wonder, I had purchased one bottle each of the rhubarb and juniper berry sodas that, I later learned, were characterized as having a high acidity.  I assumed that the sodas would taste sweet, with a hint of added piney or fruity essence, but they retained much of the original flavor instead.

Though a strange first encounter with the DRY Soda products, I am looking forward to trying new flavors, namely their lemongrass, vanilla, blood orange and best-selling flavor, lavender.  Another high note: the website.  Not only are full flavor profiles provided, the company has also included recipes to be paired with each drink.  Now that’s innovative.
