Canada Dry ginger ale I guess, good chaser for the rare whiskies I don’t like neat. Honorary mention for Pommac, but I have not had it probably 10+ years
Tonic has to be the best soft drink ever, once used to actually treat sickness now I can just have it with my cold brew or espresso everyday without the sugar high.
It took me a while, but it really grew on me. I’m a big fan of their vanilla cola, and grape flavours. But yes, it is a bit of an acquired taste maybe.
Personally a “softer” root beer is generally my go-to.
I used to really like Canadian mountain dew before they were able to sell US mountain dew here and abandoned the Canadian one. It was so much better without caffeine. But that’s their whole gimmick. Except it sold totally fine in Canada without it.
If you live in the UK, Lidl sells an excellent cola called Freeway. Their Freeway Zero is better than Pepsi Max or Coke Zero, IMHO, and literally one-fifth the price.
Huge soda fan so picking just one is super hard but I’d say:
Oronamin C or Sweet Blossom’s Rose soda
Oronamin C is a Japanese soft drink with a taste that is often described as “drinking (American) Smarties”. It’s incredibly refreshing and delicious. Sweet Blossom is I think an eastern European beverage company and they make a rose flavored soda that is to die for. It has far and away my favorite quality of carbonation (very fine, soft bubbles).
Other honorable mentions include Ocean Bomb: Sailor Mercury (i.e. pear flavor), and as a big fan of cherry colas, Bawls Guarana Cherry Cola and Fentiman’s Cherry Tree Cola.
On those funky Coke machines in some restaurants, there was an option to get Raspberry Coke Zero for a long time. I grew to love it. Now it looks like they’re taking it away in most places.
