I used to love drinking Krest when I was in Botswana. It wasn't quite Sprite, it wasn't quite Ginger Ale in taste but it was really good.

My sister enjoyed Ting in Antigua -- said it was very refreshing. I couldn't partake as the citrus they use is grapefruit and would interact badly with my medications.....

I'm a big fan of a cold bottle of Jamaican ginger beer.

Horchata (cinnamon rice milk)

Many Mexican restaurant carry the made in Mexico stuff some make their own. I'm a sucker for cinnamon perhaps thats why I like it and it goes well with hot food

I'm addicted to Bitter Lemon, and you can occasionally find it in liquor stores among the mixers. Never see it in regular grocery stores here in the states.

I like it as an alternative to the Tonic in a G&T.

I'm also quite fond of Izzy.

I've always called it an evil blend of Mountain Dew and Bubble Gum. Wow is it vile.

That stuff - in small quantities - is divine. However the sugar content....

Has a grapefruit base. I don't drink soft drinks unless it is this one. Even had my Publix in Roswell Ga get it. So I do drink it quite a bit.

I'm a big fan of Rivella (Switzerland), i remember in Hong Kong drinking Sprite Ice but i dont believe thats made anymore?
I also found in Germany fizzy apple juice but i can't remember the brand..
Love Mountain Dew (US version), i also prefer Dr Pepper in the US to the UK
Guarana also, although i find it amusing that the stock the Brazilian cafe at home sells is from Portugal, apparently its not quite the same

When I was at the place in Milwaukee years ago that was the model and inspiration for the drive-in on the television show Happy Days, I sampled this bright green soda that is local to the Milwaukee area, but I forgot what it is called.



Perhaps it was Green River?

If I remember correctly, it was rather sweet...

Favorite soda of all time:

Schweppes Cream Soda

It's like crack in a can. Whenever I think about traveling to Asia, it's the first thing that I think about. Drooling over it now. (Second is Dark Chocolate Maltesers, but that's a different thread altogether.)
