Okay, so I’ve been messing around with different drinks lately, trying to find some good stuff. And you know what? I think I’ve hit the jackpot with these citrus beverages.
First off, I grabbed a bunch of different citrus-flavored sodas. I tried to get a variety, so I picked up some of the big names and a few I’d never heard of before. There’s this one called “Citrus Drop” that’s pretty good, and another called “Hillbilly Holler” – yeah, the name’s a bit out there, but it tastes alright.

- Citrus Drop Xtreme
- Citrus Pop
- Fountain Mist
- Hannaford Mountain Lion
- HEB Citrus Rush
- Hillbilly Holler
- Kickapoo Joy Juice
Then I dove into the whole lemon-lime soda thing. Now, I know there’s always been this big debate about Sprite and all its competitors. Some folks say they’re all the same, but I don’t think so. I did a little taste test, and yeah, some of them taste pretty similar, but they’ve all got their own little twist. I even found this one soda called Starry. And I gotta say it is similar to another one called Sierra Mist.
Sparkling Water
But it wasn’t just about the sodas. I also checked out some sparkling water. I stumbled upon this brand called Aura Bora. They have tons of different flavors, and they don’t add any of that sugar or caffeine junk. They say it’s all-natural, so I figured, why not give it a shot? Some of their flavors are really out there, but hey, it’s been fun trying them.
Oh, and I almost forgot! I also saw this thing at some fancy store called Erewhon – it’s called a “C’s the Day Shot.” I guess it’s some kind of citrus drink too, but it’s in a tiny bottle. Haven’t tried it yet, but it’s on my list. Anyway, that’s my little citrus adventure so far. I’m still on the hunt for more, but I think I’ve found some pretty good stuff already. And the best thing is, I just bought all these things from different stores. Then I took them all home and just tasted each one. Sometimes I mixed some things to see how they would taste!
