Do you know how hard it is to take a good picture of a clear liquid?

This baby caught my eye the other day at the grocery store, partly because of it’s proud “Dry” label, and partly because of the vanilla bean flavor.  I’m always down with a good vanilla bean.

Now I’m at work, and it’s time to crack it open for a refreshment break.

It smells like a light cream soda.  So far so good.  But it tastes more like a plain club soda at first, leaving one to think, “wtf, I just paid $1.79 for a bottle of club soda”.  However, if you give it a second, then you find out that both the vanilla flavor and the delicate sweetness are hiding in the aftertaste.  And I do like the warm, lingering vanilla-bean taste, even if it does make a fashionably late entrance.

On Dry Soda Co.’s site, they have cocktail recipes that you can make with their products.  These guys are definitely trying to get recognized as the upper crust of the soda world, going as far as posting recipe pairing suggestions and flavor profiles on each of their drinks, much like fine wines.  Wow, so I get to feel all sophisticated and hip while I’m drinking it?  That’s worth an extra quarter point.  (Unfortunately, our ratings are all rounded down to the nearest half-point).

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 – the low sugar is great, the vanilla is tasty, but something has to be done about that club soda taste.
