Favorite Soda/Pop/Tonic/Cola/Non-alchoholic Beer

Okay, fellas, what's some of your favorite Sodas/Pops/Tonics/Colas/Non-alchoholic Beers?

I love the Ginger Beers, and scott had sent me one of the best out there, though the name escapes me.

meanwhile, I'm back to the inferior, but still delicious Reeds' Ginger beers, in original, and my preferred, extra-strong.

Also, Virgil's Root Beer- both traditional, and the special season brews. The website doesn't mention the seasonal root beer, and at $4 to $4.99 a bottle, it is very limited, but seems to pop up around, of all times, christmas, but not the summer.

Funny thing, Reed's has acquired Virgil's Root Beer and China Cola- so all three are under one ownership.

I'm also a big fan of orange soda lately, and have been reaching for the Hank's. Their other sodas are good too, including the root beer and cream soda.

I also like Jones soda. Neato labels of artist-submitted photos (ever-changing), great flavors (love the blue bubblegum, green apple, crushed melon and orange cream), and they use natural cane sugar.

Unfortunately, they have retired flavors like Strawberry and Cream, Peachy Keen, Black Cherry, and another favorite, Chocolate fudge.

fortunately, they produce some fun limited edition, seasonal-only novelty sodas in gift boxes, like-

THE HOLIDAY PACK

Featuring-
(No Joke) Turkey and Gravy soda, Sweet Potato Soda, Dinner Roll Soda, Pea Soda and Antacid Flavored Soda

THE DESSERT PACK

Featuring-
Cherry Pie, Banana Cream Pie, Key Lime Pie, Apple Pie and Blueberry Pie.

What about you boys?

i prefer the ginger beers, Bundaberg being my favorite. what sets the Bundaberg apart is that it is a true malt brew, not a soda pop.

Bundaberg is what you sent this way, correct?

Truly phenominal.

I also like the sound of your shaved ice/Dr. Pepper/angostura Bitters concoction, though I've not tried it personally.

I've saved two Bundabergs for the summer. It's tough not going after it right now. great stuff.

yep thats the stuff, though it does have a fairly short shelf life, so check the date, it probably wont make it to summer.

dont forget the lime twist with the Dr. Pepper and bitters.

ice tea, 7Up, gingerale here!

a few of my fave none alcoholic drinks are...

Mexican Horchata (A refreshing cold drink made of rice, almonds, cinnamon (canella), lime zest and sugar. This drink is rumored to be a cure for a hangover and is frequently served at breakfast time. Even though the drink has a milky appearance it is completely dairy-free.)

Thai iced tea - this stuff is addicting as hell


Creme Soda


Rootbeer soda

I truly miss the A&W drive-in from my childhood. They had the very best-tasting rootbeer on the planet, in refillable gallon jugs, no less. The canned stuff they sell now in the supermarket isn't even close.

Horchata- love it. Can't get it here in Boston. Loved it when I was hanging out in Venice Beach, California, and the area.

Good stuff!
