☆ "Orpheus"/Novelist's Melon Cream Soda ☆

OKAY!! So finally, my order from Shopee just arrived so I can finally try the lore accurate melon cream soda from the collab. Minus the lemon because I am not buying a whole one for a bit.

Anyway, this is just a revisit of the OG post. Please do check it out.

Anyway, the arrival of the wintermelon soda meant that it was necessary for me to go and buy ice cream. I considered just ordering a chocolate syrup-less soft serve from Jollibee but decided against it because the base price and delivery fee was not worth it. Unlike a whole pint of vanilla ice cream.

Extra worth it because I ordered three bottles [for free delivery] so I can make a couple more of this drink. It's quite nice so I'm glad I can make it again in the near future.

Pretty much, just grab your favourite glass, cup, or mug. Add a bit of ice, 1/4 of the vessel will do just fine. Pour in around 3/4 melon soda into the glass with ice. Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the ice. And enjoy.

Thank you to my relative for taking the picture at a nice setting.

Anyway, the drink has your usual fizziness as expected from carbonated drinks but with a light melon taste. Not sweet either but a subtle fruitiness to it. Combined with the ice cream's richness and vanilla flavour it creates a taste I am unfamiliar with but find very enjoyable.

Notably, the soda I ordered has a lighter colour as opposed to the one from the café collab. However, it could be the lighting. Nonetheless, I highly recommend it for it's lightness. Unlike the green apple version.
