6 Sodas That I Love

Something that my husband has recently noticed now that we live together is the fact that I love a seasonal product. To give you an idea of how much I love a seasonal product, this blog post is inspired by the fact that one of my favorite seasonal finds at Aldi's has returned for the summer, and I am stocking up while I can.

You've probably already guessed that it is a soda product, but what kind of soda gets stocked on a seasonal basis? You will have to read about some of my favorite other sodas to find out, but don't worry: I didn't save it for the end. If you think about the fact that I don't love the feeling of carbonation in my mouth, the fact that I am recommending sodas must mean these must mean that the taste is worth it.

1. Crush Peach Soda

I wasn't even aware that Crush had a peach soda until I was at a restaurant and it was one of their offerings. Mentally, I said, "Sure, I will try it," and it was the best thing that I ever took away from that restaurant. It doesn't taste overly peachy or artificial. The taste is refreshing, and the pink color is so cute for the summer.

2. Milkis Korean Cream Soda

The Koreans have produced many things that I love, and this soda is definitely one of them. If I had to describe the flavor, I would say that it is a bubbly version of Yakult with a little extra kick. I am such a fan that when I saw the Sanrio themed cans, I asked my sister-in-law to try and repurpose them for me to keep.

3. Dr. Pepper

When my birthday rolled around this year, the treat that I gave myself was going to a gas station so that I could purchase and try two flavors of Dr. Pepper that I had not seen anywhere else before. A fun fact is that the soda was created by a pharmacist, so I like to tell people that the soda is chemically engineered perfection.

4. Mountain Dew Baja Blast

While some people might look at Taco Bell and think that it is a crime to eat there, I would argue that it is a crime to go and not get a Baja Blast Freeze. Maybe it is because a slushy brings me back to childhood. Honestly, the business deal between Mountain Dew and Taco Bell is the perfect marriage, because it is such a unique flavor profile that it keeps me coming back. I have tried the canned stuff, and nothing beats the fresh from the machine Baja Blast.

5. Aldi's Find: Sprecher Fire-Brewed Cream Soda

You've found it, my favorite seasonal flavor (but if you go to an old-fashioned soda shop, you might be able to find it year-round). When I saw Sprecher Fire Brewed Craft Cream Soda in the seasonal section of Aldi's, I knew that I had to try it. In my opinion, it is one of the best cream sodas I have ever had because either that fire or that honey gives it a little something extra unique that other cream sodas don't have. The new season of it starts now, and I am on my forth case this year.

Grandma Sau's Favorite: Sprite

Grandma Sau loves a classic. There is nothing like the lemon-lime flavor of a Sprite, and I believe my grandma thinks it is the best thing to cleanse her palette when we're out and about. If we are at a restaurant, Grandma Sau will typically order a Sprite if she wants soda.
