Krümkake Pecan Cream Soda Review

3/10

I was quite excited about this one. It is crafted by New Creation Soda Works. I loved their peach soda and the packaging was fun and included a cute squirrel. Sadly I immediately found this one to be too sweet. I was disappointed that I couldn’t even identify any specific flavors beyond general sugar. I was curious about the flavor of real pecans in my soda but sadly I didn’t detect them. I think there are just too many flavors happening in this soda.

Jarritos Watermelon Soda Review

8/10

I found another Jarritos favorite! This is a really fun soda. The color is similar to Fruit Punch but the flavor was so much better. It hits all the right notes of watermelon. It almost tastes like it has real watermelon juice and it’s a lot more complex than other watermelon sodas I’ve tried. I wish I knew enough about watermelon to explain what those flavors are, but this one just really hits the mark and is a win from Jarritos. My second favorite flavor so far after lime.

Jarritos Fruit Punch Soda Review

3/10

I was nervous about this one and it turns out my suspicions were correct. I didn’t love it. It was too sweet for one. Fruit punch can be a difficult flavor. It’s easy for it to taste like a child’s juice box. Unfortunately the biggest issue with this flavor was that juice box effect. Sadly I haven’t been blown away with Jarritos ever since I had my first lime Jarritos.

Mountain Dew Baja Cabo Citrus Soda Review

8/10

This was a surprisingly tasty Baja Blast. I really liked the tropical punch flavors but it tasted much more complex than a fruit punch. This is easily in the top 2 Baja Blast flavors I’ve tried. I suppose it’s tied with Point Break Punch. This one may be my favorite though. Adding citrus to the punch flavors seems to have been a solid move. I will try and grab another one of these before they leave shelves since this is a seasonal flavor.

Pepsi Lemon Big Zero Soda Review

3/10

This was found in a local novelty store but is imported from Japan. It seems to be a limited edition soda. I couldn’t locate much about it online and I failed to find information on the caffeine content which was a mistake since I drank it later in the day and had quite a buzz. The flavor was lacking. I didn’t clearly taste lemon and didn’t love the artificial taste but you have to expect that with a Zero soda. Somehow it tasted more like tea than Pepsi to me. I would not purchase this again.

Grandpa Lundquist Christmas Soda Review

2/10

This one was a huge let down. I was excited about the Christmas theming but didn't know what to expect. The taste resembled both Coke and cough syrup. How is this a Christmas themed beverage? I am very disappointed. I’m not sure what this one was aiming for. It must be some sort of traditional drink that I don’t know much about but I didn’t enjoy it. Apparently this drink is Swedish in origin so maybe that’s why I’m not familiar with it. Carbonation is at least generous and the packaging is whimsical. The smell is reminiscent of grape cough medicine.

Jarritos Grapefruit Soda Review

2/10

I love grapefruit drinks by Fever Tree. They are probably my favorite sodas of all time. I think I’m used to that flavor profile, which is mildly sweet, but I found this way too sweet. So far this is my least favorite Jarritos flavor. Sadly I didn’t enjoy this one at all.

Peches Georgia Peach Soda Review

7/10

This one is made by a company called New Creation Soda Works. I’m not a huge peach fan but this soda really exceeded my expectations. I could tell it was crafted with high-quality, fresh ingredients and it left me excited to try other sodas from this brand. Despite peaches not being my favorite it’s still a solid soda so I rated it more highly. The company is located in Georgia near my partner’s home town of Athens which was a fun plus.

Jarritos Guava Soda Review

2/10

Enticing color and delicious tropical flavor. I really enjoyed this one. It felt very refreshing and I loved the island vibes. Not my favorite flavor but one of the better options so far from Jarritos. As always it provides generous carbonation.

Jarritos Mexican Cola Soda Review

6/10

This soda had an interesting cola profile. I enjoyed the fruitiness. i prefer this less intense cola flavor to big players like Coke and Pepsi. I’ve never been a big cola fan but I don’t mind this one. A touch of caffeine is also helpful for an energy boost and headache cure.

Jarritos Tamarind Soda Review

3/10

I've never had tamarind before and I don’t think I like it. It sort of numbs my tongue and I’m not sure what to compare it to. Maybe licorice but I actually like licorice. This is just not my favorite flavor but I’ve had worse. I always appreciate carbonation in Jarritos at least.

Poppi Raspberry Rose Soda Review

7/10

Wow. I’m so confused but this is nothing like the other Poppi flavors I've tried. Delicious and satisfying raspberry flavor to the last drop. A great balance of sweetness. Will buy again.

Jarritos Strawberry Soda Review

7/10

This is a delightful strawberry soda. I truly enjoyed it. It had a rich flavor without being overly sweet. It was incredibly satisfying. Another hit from Jarritos.

Poppi Orange Cream Soda Review

2/10

Terrible vinegar flavor. Not enjoyable at all and no orange cream flavor.

Jarritos Passion Fruit Soda Review

3/10

I wasn't sure what to expect from this flavor since I don't think I've ever tried passion fruit before. This one is unique. Very fruity and intense. A bit too sweet for my taste but packs quite a punch and has a vibrant scent. Fun to have a unique flavor. But overall not my thing.

Coca-Cola Orange Cream Soda Review

4/10

I am not impressed with this Coke. I enjoyed Orange Vanilla Coke and thought this would be similar. It has a more subtle vanilla flavor which I do not prefer. Tastes too much like regular Coke to me. I am not a fan of regular Coke.

Rocky Mountain Soda Co. Breckenridge Blackberry Soda Review

7/10

This soda was a delicious standout. I enjoyed the uniqueness of it. The blackberry flavor was really refreshing and tasty. It was a real treat overall. Generously carbonated and a pretty label to top it off.
