![]() ![]() I think because of the inclusion of the vinegar-which complements this flavor rather than muddling it-it is the best ginger soda I’ve tried recently. Poppi is available in seven fruity flavors like blueberry and raspberry rose, but the standout is the extremely punchy ginger lime. However, if you’ve decided to drink a soda because you want to drink a soda (the only reason to drink a soda, IMO) and not for dubious health reasons, Poppi is a bright and flavorful option. Will a little ACV (plus water, juice, cane sugar, and stevia) “boost immunity” and “refine your complexion” as the Poppi website states? I am not a nutritionist, but that’s gonna be a no from me, dog. Yes, Poppi cans boast “gut health” and identify the contents as “prebiotic,” but as far as I can tell, the only ingredient that sets the brand apart from other non-wellness-focused sodas is apple cider vinegar.

Below are four standout soda brands from recent Fun Bev Runs that are bringing something new to the soft drink space, plus the top flavors of each and how best to booze them up. In particular, the newest additions feel bold and adult, complex but fun, and just as suited to drink by themselves as in part of a cocktail. While the last few years were spent taste-testing my way through the latest innovations in seltzer and kombucha, these days the most intriguing things in the cold case at my local market are fizzy, sweetened, and vividly flavored-true sodas, though never with anything close to the 40 grams of sugar per serving characteristic of their forebears.
