Whatever you call it — Jones Soda Naranja Mandarina or Jones Soda Mandarin Orange — this Hispanic-influenced drink features an excellently satisfying flavor experience. It's a different type of orange taste, one that's not as bitter, but surprisingly mild and smooth. ¡Muy bien!

Jones Soda Orange "You Glad For Change" Cola — a limited edition name for Jones Soda Orange Cola — is a great-tasting addition to the Jones lineup. I really liked the subtle citrus flavor and the very clean, cane sugar-sweetened cola experience. Whatever your politics, you have to admit that this is one solid beverage!

Jones Soda Blood Orange Soda is an orange beverage that doesn't taste like you'd expect. It's fruity, but also bitter and somewhat grapefruit-like. Could be better, but as a limited time offering, not bad. It's part of the 2008 Jones Soda Halloween collection.

Pepsi has implemented a stop-gap measure to shore up their orange-flavored misfortunes such as Tropicana Twister Soda Orange. According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Pepsi Bottling Group has just signed a U.S. distribution deal for Dr Pepper Snapple Group's Crush.

The folks at Hansen's have rolled out a new line of drinks which they describe as a "refreshing taste of fresh fruit and real cane sugar lightened with the perfect amount of bubbles." As part of this Sparkling Sleek line, we tried Hansen's Natural Sparkling Sleek Valencia Orange. Overall, while I'm not a die-hard sparking water drinker, the beverage provided a nice change of pace. It was light, but flavorful, and the carbonation was just about right. I'd probably try it again.

I really liked Hansen's Mandarin Lime Natural Soda. It's probably what Sierra Mist Undercover Orange SHOULD have tasted like… a lemon-lime soda with a hint of orange!

Tropicana Pure Valencia is a high-end orange juice made with 100% Valencia oranges. What that means is that this drink is both very tasty and very expensive. But I will admit that the branding lives up to the hype. This is some fine orange juice. Nice job, Tropicana!

Sierra Mist Undercover Orange is a creative limited edition that provides an orange flavor within a clear soft drink, much like Sprite Remix. The mandarin orange taste is considerably different from other orange sodas, though suffers from some of the negatives associated with HFCS and Sierra Mist in general. It's a clever tie-in to the movie Get Smart and provides a much needed orange flavor to PepsiCo's lineup.

Full Throttle Fury is a decent-tasting, orange-flavored energy drink. It's superior in many ways to Coke's original Full Throttle. Only the confusing packaging really hurts the beverage overall.

Thanks to an image sighting associated with the "Pepsi Stuff" loyalty program, the rumors regarding Sierra Mist Undercover Orange may be confirmed. This mandarin orange-flavored drink appears to be clear in nature, which is rather interesting. It may be tied to an upcoming movie promotion. Would you drink a clear orange soda?
