I figured my lack of enjoyment of Coke Zero was because I've been drinking Diet Coke too long and no longer cared for Coke Classic taste.

Moxie is horrific, it is used in the northeast to burn the barnacles off lobster boats. Truly sickmaking. That new Dr. Pepper 10, though... I liked it a lot.

Is Texas still making Big Red? That's got to be the South's answer to Moxie.

Big Red is still alive and well in Texas. Born, as was Dr. Pepper, in Waco, in the lab of the Perfection Company, producer of artificial flavors, among the best known of which was "Grenadine" for saloons too cheap to buy the real thing, Big Red has always found a niche in the Mexican American market and apparently sells well in the LA area.
Collins Glass, ice
1.5 ounces white rum
Juice of one Key Lime
Fill w/Big Red
Reminiscent, sort'a, of a diluted version of the once well known, now forgotten, "Bacardi Cocktail", a contemporary of the Daiquiri, but made Grenadine instead of simple syrup.

Coke Zero does certainly NOT taste like regular coke. It still has the artificial sweetner aftertaste like all diet drinks do - at least I taste it.
