    Anything ginger (ginger ale, ginger beer, spicy, not spicy) as long as it’s fizzy. Not all the time, these are treats.

    Most root beer. A&W is solid. There’s one I don’t like with perfume undertones.

    We make our own seltzer and it’s my favorite. But any ice cold seltzers will do.

    If I’m in a restaurant and craving soda, I get a coke or diet coke.

    In the US South, an ice cold Cheerwine made with cane sugar in a glass bottle.

    Probably ginger beer. I’ll even squeeze some lime in there if I want a Moscow mule hold the Moscow.

    I like sodas that are off the beaten path, so my favorite is Belvoir Rose & Elderflower sparkling lemonade. It’s the perfect summer treat after coming inside from the heat. It’s fantastic even when it’s watered down, or mixed into a cocktail, or if you add it to lemonade, but it’s great just on its own. I love floral and herbal flavors and it’s just lovely.

    My other favorite would be Reed’s Ginger Ale, one of the few ginger ales you can buy made with actual ginger. It comes in several “strengths” and I like them all.

    I hate that it’s often associated with a specific type of person, but I like the flavor of Mt Dew.

    I love weird and wonderful things. In Switzerland they have Rivella, made with milk whey. Deliciously refreshing.

    In Czechia they have Kofola, the BuyEU poster drink. It looks like a cola drink but the taste is fairly different in a good way. They have cherry and lemon variants too!

    I had the most delicious coconut flavoured fizzy water in Lanzarote, the brand name is Firgas, I believe it is a Canariense brand.

    Japan has Calpis, don’t mind the name because this stuff is insanely good! It’s a tangy yoghurt based drink. The Korean equivalent is Milkis, equally delicious.

    Talking about Korea, Lotte makes a pine bud drink (sorry can’t link to that one!) and it’s such an unusual and refreshing drink I really recommend it. They also have sikhye which is a drink made of fermented rice (amazake in Japan, jiuniang in China). And on the topic of rice drinks, Woongjin morning drink is superb, it’s a bit pricey outside of Korea but so worth it.

    Now for the number one in my heart, the drink I could inject in my veins because I like it so much is Liptonic. It’s a fizzy ice tea and it’s a crime it’s not available everywhere.
