Mines Dr pepper. I just remembered Seven Up exists and I’ve never heard of it besides for the cake.

    Im at a point in my life where I try to drink less of that kind of stuff, so when I do I usually choose quality over quantity and pick some smaller brand making good stuff.

    My usual is a brand called Lurisia. I especially enjoy their Chinotto, which is mostly caramelized sugar and a bitter aromatic citrus fruit, or bitter orange.

    • Me too. I miss my youthful metabolism.

      For the past couple of years, I’ve been grooving on Ramune, that Japanese drink in the glass bottles with the marble. It’s just sugar-water; the flavorings are mild, there’s no caffeine, and it’s pretty sweet, but it’s fun and tastes good. My Cub Foods carries it in the “foreign” section, and I’ll get a bottle a couple of times a year. It’s the only sweetened soda I drink.

      We do drink a fair amount of soda water; just plain, unsweetened, unflavored carbonated water, but I don’t think that counts towards OP’s question. Gerolsteiner, mostly, but also non-mineral … Gerolsteiner has a taste, being mineral water, which I like but not so much with meals.

    Cheerwine is some tasty stuff, and for the most part it isn’t readily available in my part of the country, so it always feels like a special treat when I do find it.

    Otherwise A-Treat is out local soda brand, and their Sasparilla and Birch Beer are the taste of my childhood.

      I avoid soda, but if I absolutely had to choose in a lineup of the usual and kofola was included, it’d definitely be kofola.

    Real (actually brewed) root beer. Not to be confused with root beer flavored syrup mixed with carbonated water, which is 99% of what’s available.

    It’s hit and miss depending on the source, but when it’s a hit… chef’s kiss

    I don’t generally drink soda but when i do, birch beer is my favorite; second favorites are Dr. Pepper, cream soda, and cranberry ginger ale.

    I had no idea you could make cake with 7-Up! I’ve moved away from soda for the most part, but ice cold Root Beer is still pretty tasty to me in certain situations

    I have two. Ginger beer tastes great, and it’s helpful if you’ve got a cold or stomach ache.

    It’s a ‘soft drink’ only because it doesn’t have alcohol. Manhattan Special Espresso soda. I’d see the old Italian men drinking it when they played bocce. Three bottles have enough caffeine to give you heart palpitations.
