Favorite airline-served soft drink?
 
To my surprise it appears there is no previous thread on this topic.

What's your favorite soft drink served by the airlines (your choices are limited to those listed in the back of the award-winning airline magazine).

Mine (as the profile says) is Spicy Tomato aka Mr. & Mrs. T Bloody Mary Mix with only 80 calories and 8g carbs. Of course, it also has 89% of your recommended intake of sodium (what's good for one person might be bad for another with high blood pressure). Something else I like about Spicy Tomato is that the words are clearly audible to FAs even on a noisy aircraft. Second favorite is club soda.

Least favorite: Fruit flavored drinks with 5% fruit juice, followed closely by sugared sodas.

A freshly made iced mint tea that SQ very kindly prepared for me one. Kept me going all the way back from SIN.

Least favourite has to be fizzy orange drinks and the likes. They taste like sparkling chemical effluent, I don't understand their popularity.

I usually ask for a small amount of OJ in a glass of ice with a can of club soda.
Sometimes on AA I ask for a diet Dr. Pepper.

Our 12 y.o. son tried Canada Dry ginger ale for the first time flying AC between YVR and NRT last month. He wasn't sure what he wanted and the F/A suggested it as a "genuine Canadian soft drink".

He liked it.

Perhaps you may have interpreted differently. Did they perhaps mixed it with something esle to give it a unique AC flavored drink? Because I believe a regular Canadian Dry is something one can get easily at the grocery store. Hence if it were me, I won't really consider that an airline soft drink. :) It's not that much different than If I were to say my favorite drink is ordinary Pepsi served by United. :D

The F/A did something with it (I was kind of hoping she'd lace it with a bottle of booze to knock him out for the long flight) but I didn't catch what juice she mixed it with. Maybe apple juice?

La Croix, ...
 
... please. Clean, crisp, clear.

BTW, does Delta still serve their own fruit punch in a can? Seems like it had a tiger on the label. That was yummy!

Sprite. It's the only thing that doesn't make me feel like crap! If it's a relatively short flight (under 3 hours), I don't like to drink a lot of water because I'll go to the bathroom a thousand times.

Hmmm interesting. Perhaps it was a non-alcoholic cocktail. I seldomly order Ginger Ale for my AC flights.

In the event I don't have my customary gin & tonic, I will get a ginger ale.

Many years ago I enjoyed Piedmont Punch.

Depending on my mood, it's either - water, cola, ginger ale or coffee. Prefer 'no ice', but sometimes don't catch the FA quick enough or I forget. YMMV.
