Although the Dry Soda Co. has been around for a few years now, it wasn’t until this spring that the caffeine-free, low-cal beverages were available throughout Texas. And after the taste-testing demonstration the folks at Dry put on for us, we’re glad to have them. Similar to fine wines, these cuisine-inspired drinks were created to serve as meal pairings. They’re made with all-natural flavors and only small amounts of sugar and come in four unique flavors: kumquat, lavender, lemongrass, and rhubarb. My personal favorite is rhubarb, which is described as bold, lush, and tart and weighs in at only 60 calories per 12-ounce serving. Considering my affinity for red wine, this makes sense, but given the choice between a Dry Soda and a good Cabernet, I’m not sure I’d go the rhubarb way.
UPDATE: Forgot to tell you Dry Soda is available at all area Whole Foods Markets. Try it out and let us know what you think.
