IRN BRU

Anything ginger (ginger ale, ginger beer, spicy, not spicy) as long as it’s fizzy. Not all the time, these are treats.

Most root beer. A&W is solid. There’s one I don’t like with perfume undertones.

We make our own seltzer and it’s my favorite. But any ice cold seltzers will do.

If I’m in a restaurant and craving soda, I get a coke or diet coke.

In the US South, an ice cold Cheerwine made with cane sugar in a glass bottle.

My. Dew but I really don’t drink soda anymore. When I did it was my absolute favorite and I would drink it very often.

Dr Pepper pre-aspartame (or HFC).

Solo out of currently produced drinks.

Dr. Pepper Zero Sugar

Probably ginger beer. I’ll even squeeze some lime in there if I want a Moscow mule hold the Moscow.

Paulaner Spezi

Sparkling water

I love weird and wonderful things. In Switzerland they have Rivella, made with milk whey. Deliciously refreshing.

In Czechia they have Kofola, the BuyEU poster drink. It looks like a cola drink but the taste is fairly different in a good way. They have cherry and lemon variants too!

I had the most delicious coconut flavoured fizzy water in Lanzarote, the brand name is Firgas, I believe it is a Canariense brand.

Japan has Calpis, don’t mind the name because this stuff is insanely good! It’s a tangy yoghurt based drink. The Korean equivalent is Milkis, equally delicious.

Talking about Korea, Lotte makes a pine bud drink (sorry can’t link to that one!) and it’s such an unusual and refreshing drink I really recommend it. They also have sikhye which is a drink made of fermented rice (amazake in Japan, jiuniang in China). And on the topic of rice drinks, Woongjin morning drink is superb, it’s a bit pricey outside of Korea but so worth it.

Now for the number one in my heart, the drink I could inject in my veins because I like it so much is Liptonic. It’s a fizzy ice tea and it’s a crime it’s not available everywhere.

Zevia cola

Kofola is cola with herbal taste, made in Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Bawls

Diet cokehead here!

I drink water too. And if a restaurant tries to sneak me a diet pepsi, I ask them to bring me iced tea.
