Beverage reviews & commentary on soda, bottled teas, energy drinks, flavored water, fruit drinks, and other non-alchoholic types of liquid refreshment
Cherry Lemon Sun Drop uses a combination of orange and cherry juice concentrates to provide a smooth, lemony flavor with a hint of cherry. Throw it a tropical "bite" and this drink is different than what you'd expect, but still recommended… if you can find it!
We've got confirmation that 7Up Mixed Berry Antioxidant is slated for the holiday season, replacing Pomegranate 7Up. Snapple Tea Will Be Loved is also slated for a fall release, tied to a hit song from Maroon 5.
Hawaiian Punch has undergone a design makeover, refreshing the look of their packaging as well as their iconic mascot, Punchy.
Dr Pepper Snapple Group introduces the "Legacy" bottle as a replacement for their current 20 oz. shape, used for brands in the company's portfolio that do not have their own brand-specific bottle designs.
Crush Blue Raspberry is probably one of the better flavor extensions to arrive in recent years for the brand. It produces a refreshing and unique taste that is ideal for stand-alone consumption when you just want something cold, bubbly, and flavorful.
Ruby Red Squirt has been redesigned to reflect the new logo look & feel rolled out for the flagship drink in late 2010. We're not fans.
Say what you will about Donald Trump… at least he gave us 7Up with sugar! 7Up Retro is a refreshing addition to the lemon-lime battles, and in some cases, we really want to root for the underdog here. The drink is very clean and lacks any negative syrupy finish, but some might not like the type of aftertaste that it brings. Still, it's worthy of picking up during this limited time window… so go try it!
7Up Retro, a limited-time real sugar version of 7Up, is slated to arrive in May 2011
Dr Pepper Ten starts out fine with that first sip, but then the expected flavor never arrives, instead trailing right into the negative diet-infused aftertaste. While there is something there that tastes like Dr Pepper, it definitely feels like those 23 flavors aren't kicking on all cylinders. Stick with the far-superior Diet Dr Pepper.
The 2010 reboot of 7Up with a new "crisp, clean" taste is actually very good, undoing most of the flavor mistakes of 2006 "natural" version. No longer a taste knock-off of Sierra Mist or Sprite, 7Up once again tastes appropriately blander… and that's a good thing.
