taste test: DRY soda

When I came across DRY Soda at Whole Foods in Vancouver, I was pretty excited. I discovered their website in the spring of 2008 and admired both their marketing and concept. I’m not a big fan sweet beverages, so the “refined flavour, lightly sweet, all natural” tagline was right up my alley. The rhubarb and lavender flavors made their way home with me. Well, the rhubarb went down the hatch on the way to the ferry. I kicked the lavender bottle up a notch by adding a splash of gin and and a squirt of lemon. Not too shabby. Unfortunately I haven’t seen DRY soda on the island. The Market on Yates has a decent selection of sodas including Boylan’s Lemon Seltzer. Love the vintage inspired bottle. I guess they don’t need much inspiration – they’ve been around since 1891.
