new sodas

picked up these new ones...

squamscot

the half and half was nasty...i thought it might taste like milkis, which is a korean milk flavored soda...think of 7-up and and a little bit of milk together..



however, this was terrible...tasted like lime juice(the kind that you can get in those green lime shaped containers) mixed with some milk...i didn't try maple cream yet

drinking china cola as i write this, and it's pretty good...the bottle says made with chinese herbs...i don't think it is as sweet as mexican coke but stronger cane sugar taste (slightly bitter similar to chewing raw cane)...can't really taste the herbs

from their website:


China Cola is the top selling cola in natural foods. This great tasting cola gives a natural lift from the addition of a Chinese herbal infusion imported from China. This herbal infusion was originally developed by a Chinese master herbalist and was added to a popular cola in China. The main Chinese herbs are Szechwan Peony Root, Cassia Bark, Cardamom, Licorice, and Orange peel. These herbs were picked for their effect on digestion and the liver. It was designed to boost and balance the body’s natural energy levels. It was believed that these herbs would benefit the general population due to imbalances observed by the Chinese Herbal profession (according to Chinese herbalists these imbalances are commonly found in Americans, too)





the last one i got is a soda from austria called almdudler...i haven't tried it yet...


from wiki:


The original Almdudler is a sweetened carbonated beverage made of grape and apple juice concentrates flavoured with herbs; its flavour is similar to ginger ale or elderflower cordial but with a somewhat fruitier and more bitter flavour. Almdudler has been called the "national drink of Austria".[citation needed] Its popularity in Austria is second only to Coca Cola; 80 million litres of the beverage are produced per annum.

  1. The Almdudler seems like something I'd really like but that Squamscot looks suspect. :)

  2. almuddler wasn't that good...although, if you think regular ginger ale is too sweet, then you might like this
