We’re all familiar with the major soda brands and flavors, but few know the amazing variety of bubbly beverages that are available. Whether it be a unique flavor, you’ve never tried before, or a twist on an old favorite, here are 8 unique sodas that you’ll love.
Boylan’s Mash Lemon Peel Ginger Root
Are we using a loose interpretation of the word “soda” here? Sure. But Boylan’s Mash Lemon Peel Ginger is everything a soda should be. Not overly sweet like other sodas, Boylan’s Mash is a delicious hybrid of soda and juice. If Lemon Peel Ginger Root doesn’t quite spark your interest, try one of their other original flavors: Grapefruite Citrus Zing, Pomegranate Blueberry, and Ripe Mango Blood Orange.
Dates Cola
A new twist on a beloved classic, Dates Cola uses recognizable ingredients to deliver a soda that’s unmistakably original and undeniably delicious. Its blend of date extract, pure honey leaves, and cane sugar give it its cool crisp flavor and its all-natural ingredients give it a special place in our hearts.
Dr. Brown’s Soda Cel-Ray
As soon as you crack open a can, you’ll recognize the smell. You might not be able to conjure the smell of celery from memory, but you’ll recognize it immediately. The flavor of Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray Soda is a combination of herbaceous, bitter, and peppery, but with the sweetness we’ve come to expect from a soda. Pair this with a pastrami on rye for the full experience–the flavors really complement each other. Don’t let the idea of soda-ized vegetables scare you off. This strange sounding soda is a real hidden gem.
Maine Root Blueberry Soda
Both entirely original and perfectly suited for a soda, Maine Root Blueberry Soda will make you wonder, “why doesn’t [insert your favorite soda brand here] make a blueberry soda?” The delightfully fruity soda will conjure images of summer. You’ve never had a soda like this before… but why?
Flying Cauldron Butterscotch Beer
If you’re looking for a fun soda to guzzle down while watching a movie marathon about a certain young wizard and his friends' fight to fight an evil wizard whom shall not be named, Flying Cauldron Butterscotch Beer may spark your fancy. This non-alcoholic rendition of a favorite from the series will tickle your sweet tooth and immerse you in a magical world. While it does pair well with a movie marathon, it’s not required. Enjoy Butterscotch Beer whenever you like.
Manhattan Special Espresso Soda
While it’s been around for more than 100 years, many people still haven’t heard of Manhattan Special Espresso Soda. Its bold flavor comes from a unique blend of the finest coffee beans and pure cane sugar. This works as a great alternative to iced coffee in the summer or as a mixer with your favorite spirits and liqueurs. Coffee lovers are sure to enjoy this delicious espresso craft soda.
GuS Dry Cranberry Lime
GuS stands for “Grown-up Soda” and is marketed towards adults with more refined palates who no longer enjoy overly-sweet traditional sodas. GuS Dry Cranberry Lime is no different. It has all the flavor as a soda (as opposed to flavored sparkling water) but with 40% less sugar. GuS offers a wide variety of sodas, including Dry Blackberry, Dry Cola, Dry Meyer Lemon, Dry Pomegranate, Dry Valencia Orange, and Extra Dry Ginger Ale.
Orangina
You know how you can tell that Orangina’s orange flavor comes from real oranges? Because they leave the pulp in. This orange soda doesn’t taste like orange soda, but a slightly sweetened, effervescent orange juice. Orangina may be the most well-known soda on the list, but that doesn’t make it any less unique… or delicious.
Those are some of our favorites, but we’re adding new beverages all the time. Take a look at our full catalog of sodas and follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter for specials, drink recipes, and new product announcements.
