For some reason, I have come to crave tomato juice while on a flight. I never touch the stuff on the ground, but at 35K up, it's tomato juice with two ice cubes. (Cools it off without getting watered down)

A slightly similar topic (not limited to only soft drinks though) was in TravelBuzz last year in case you're interested.
Definitely ginger ale for me!

I don't have a particular favorite (usually just Diet Whatever or an apple juice), but occasionally I'll get a ginger ale. Not weird in itself, but I'm fairly certain the only place I've ever drank ginger ale is on an airplane--just not something I've ever bought or had any desire to drink on the ground.

Just wondering if anyone has experienced soda cocktails onboard?
An African colleague has a good story of the names of all the mocktails made with a splash of Fanta, Coke, Ginger Ale etc.
I'd sooner take a juice than a sugar-water drink, unless it's a mixed one.

POG is always good. HA serves it on their x-Pacs. But my favorite airline-served soft drink was served only for a brief, 2 month period in the spring of this year, when HA served Pomegranate juice in F: they promoted it as their "Signature Beverage" to complement their re-tooled F menu.
Well, it was great by itself, great with champagne; great with Ketel 1; but alas, it probably proved too costly, because it vanished as suddenly as it appeared; and the FA's don't even like to discuss it, as if it never happened, whenever I ask "Whatever happened to that Pomegranate juice you served".
So it goes.

My favourite soft drinks have been those on HA, HNL-SYD when it recommmenced, because the FAs were so happy to make their guests happy.
The coffee-flavoured drinks were excellent. ^
Aloha!
