The newest trend that's cropped up in the last while in restaurants and cafes, is their practice of moving away from common American soft drink brands towards locally made brands. The soft drink above is called, "Sauer", which translates either to "sour" or "mad". And, it's rhubarb flavour is sour and madly wonderful. It's list of ingredients (rhubarb and red currant concentrates, sugar, and water) is refreshingly simple as is it's taste. No chemicals. No perservatives. There is only enough sugar to insure that your cheeks don't pucker inwards.
What I like most of all is the thought that going local can mean many things.
That sounds amazing! Local soda... what a concept!
ReplyDeleteI like everything about it - down to the label.
ReplyDeleteSounds fantastic, so much healthier - except for the sugar - wish the use of stevia or xylitol were more common.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, that sounds wonderful! I love rhubarb.
ReplyDeleteDarn, rhubarb doesn't love me.
ReplyDeleteYes, local means the economy will prosper, inventiveness will flourish, and interesting things will happen.
Have a great trip. I look forward to reading all about it. :)
Since computer is finally working - I have enjoyed catching up on what you share. Going local is what we all need to do. But like Maggie - not a favorite of rhubarb.
