Culture Pop Soda – Ginger Lemon & Turmeric

It’s party time, so I’m trying another of these Culture Pops—the jury’s still out on whether I can include these (and not go to jail? Not lose my funding?). This one has 12% juice—less than the last one—and it’s also a lot better—it tastes way less like white grape juice—and that’s probably because the ginger is so dominant. Besides ginger and lemon, there’s coriander and turmeric—a good combination. It’s got a very pale fizzy look, nice, and it’s really refreshing. More ginger than anything—this is essentially the best ginger ale I’ve ever had! (Well, perhaps some of the ginger sparkling waters might be the best, since that’s what they are). Most ginger ale is too sweet, and that’s that—that’s all there is to it. This is more like it! The can is also cute—it’s flat, light blue, with black and yellow print, and yellow stylized lemons. I’d be all for this, all the way, except that it’s still a little sweet—from that fuckin’ white grape juice—so it might still not qualify for my purposes. But if I was going to drink a soft drink, soda, pop (a sweetened soft drink, that is), this would be the one!
