Notes: I don't usually like to double-up on the same sodas with different varieties. I only did Camlica a few posts ago, and I really liked it. The next time that I went to the European Specialties, I saw that they had a different variety of this wonderful soft drink. So, I grabbed a bottle and pooped it into the fridge.This is another high-quality soda with relatively simple ingredients. There is sodium citrate (probably part flavor/part preservative), potassium sorbate (another preservative that I try to avoid), and beta carotene as a colorant. The rest is sparkling water, beet sugar and concentrated orange juice. The taste is very clean orange, with enough fizzy to make it taste like a fresh mimosa on Easter Sunday, minus the alcohol. If you can find it, give it a try, because from the website I get the impression that this new product might be a limited product.
