Squirt Citrus Power is a enjoyable citrus soda/energy drink hybrid. The increase in caffeine, addition of taurine and B vitamins, and unique grapefruit taste make this a nice addition to the market. The familiarity of the brand and intentional courting of the casual beverage fan could be very positive for this flavor extension.

Take the flavor experience of a root beer float and bottle it. That’s what A&W Float soda attempts to pull off. It’s an interesting innovation idea… and one that comes close, but misses. While it does use sugar and skim milk, the resulting taste is so artificial that you shouldn’t even bother. Great idea, horrible execution.

If you like your soft drinks tasting like carbonated cough syrup, then Strawberry Crush is for you. Like most strawberry soft drinks, its flavor is extremely on the fake side. It tastes a lot like Fanta Strawberry, and that’s not a good thing. You are hit with an overtly sweet, syrupy taste that is compounded by the use of high fructose corn syrup.

I find joy with caffeine-free products that offer a unique flavor beyond the traditional Sprite, Sierra Mist, and 7Up varieties. Such can be found with Canada Dry Cranberry Ginger Ale. You are pleasantly greeted by a distinctive influx of cranberry. Not too sweet, great with or without food. It’s a muted, dry flavor that is highly recommended.

Pomegranate 7Up is basically Cadbury Schweppes’ take on last holiday season’s Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash from PepsiCo. It’s a subtle, not very sweet, tasty addition to the 7Up lineup, whether partaken alone, with food, or as part of a mixed beverage. It’s pretty good!

Cherry Chocolate Diet Dr Pepper is actually very good! It you are a diet drink lover and are seeking a new flavor… or even if you are a mainstream beverage drinker curious about this flavor combination, it’s worth a try. It seems to be targeted at the Coca-Cola Zero audience with its mix of aspartame and Ace-K sweeteners. As a limited time drink, I hope it does well in the marketplace!

Posted in Carbonated Soft Drinks, Reviews, Cadbury Schweppes, Sundrop on Nov 3rd, 2007 No Comments »
This beverage review takes a look at Sundrop, a citrus-flavored soda from Cadbury Schweppes. Similar in color, smell, and taste as Pepsi’s Mountain Dew or Coke’s Vault, it’s highlighted by the inclusion of actual orange juice, a snappier flavor, and a pretty high dose of caffeine. Good luck finding it, however. It’s highly regional!

This beverage review of Sunkist notes that it’s one of the few orange sodas that actually contains caffeine, in contrast to such other popular options such as Fanta Orange, Tropicana Twister Soda Orange, and Orange Crush. And frankly, it’s better than those.
