Private Selection - Hopped Grapefruit Cream Soda
/
Well it’s been a couple of weeks, but I’ve got another bottle of Private Selection soda in front of me today. Last time we tried their Bourbon Barrel Cola, but today it’s all about the Hopped Grapefruit Cream Soda.

It’s been awhile since I’ve reviewed a cola, so when I ventured out into the wilds and found myself in a Kroger I was hopeful. On the far end of the soda aisle, where the “fancy” sodas live, I saw a grouping of Private Selection brand beverages. Private Selection is a Kroger brand, but they do a good job keeping their name off the bottle and go with a simple, elegant design. Fortunately for me one of the Private Selection sodas is a cola, specifically Bourbon Barrel Cola.

I’m not going to hem and haw all that much here. I’m about to drink a Ranch Dressing Soda by Lester’s Fixins. With a surprisingly short ingredient list of Carbonated Water, Sugar, Sodium Benzoate, gum acacia, natural flavor, and ester gum, I’m a little impressed/concerned. Let’s just get to it.

Anywho, this review will be Just Peachy… HEB’s Just Peachy peach soda that is! Just Peachy is cane sugar sweetened as most if not all of the HEB brand limited edition sodas are. The other ingredients aren’t really noteworthy, but I’m expecting a big peach taste not unlike Big Peach.

Unexpected, but sweet. Like a water balloon fight with your grandma.”
In a font the same size as the flavor of the drink, that’s what the makers of Bai - Lambari Watermelon Lime want you to know about their beverage. This stylish black can with minimalistic design caught my eye at the store. According to the can it’s not a soda it’s a “sparkling antioxidant infusion”. You’re a non-alcoholic, carbonated, flavored beverage; that’s a soda in our book.

Who here has never had an apple soda? If your arm is up I applaud your dedication to this bit and suggest you try an apple soda this week. Pepsi makes one called Manzanita Sol that should be fairly easy to get if you can’t find one from a Mexican bottling company. Apple sodas are good and are rarely as sweet as your berry flavored carbonated beverages. They’re usually smooth, refreshing, and hold a somewhat natural taste to apples. What I have in front of me today is an apple soda, specifically one called Saborsazo Manzana Fresca.

I’m fortunate to be surrounded by kind people. One of those said kind people, Blue Rumer as she’ll be referred to, went to Spain. Blue Rumer went to Spain and brought me back a soda, a sparkling lemonade to be exact called la Gloria Sicilian Lemon. Anytime I consume a beverage from another country it’s like a miniature vacation for my face. Here is where I thank Blue Rumer for the tiny bottle of sparkling lemonade, the miniature face vacation, and get on with the review at hand.

As we approach July 4th a swell of patriotism may begin to fill the chests of American’s. MTN Dew has given us the opportunity to pair this patriotism with bubbly sugar water with not one, but three flavors. MTN DEW.S.A. (GET IT?!) is what I hold in my hand thanks to one J. Dewitsky. The three Dew flavors that have been combined to create this are Code Red, White Out, and Voltage. The flavors, as you DEW Heads may have noticed, are red, white, and blue. They are really hammering this theme here, so we might as well indulge in it ourselves.
