MASH "soda-pop" is the shiz

Speaking of hot weather, nothing is more refreshing then a light, refreshing, carbonated drink to quench your thirst. I had the pleasure of tasting one of the greatest "soda-pops" I've ever tried about a week ago...

It's like a tastebud orgasm, in a bottle.



Shaped in an unusual 591mL bottle with a wide-mouth opening, I found this sweet gem at a local produce market out by the highway in Richmond. The reason why I quote the "soda-pop" when describing this beverage is because MASH doesn't describe itself as a "soda pop", but more of a "carbonated water-drink". I'll let you read the informative, yet honest, label the company describes its product...

"It's not 100% juice, it's not soda-pop, nor will you get energy or vitamins from it..."

It comes in 4 flavours: Grapefruit Citrus Zing, Lemon Peel Ginger Root, Pommegranate Blueberry, and Ripe Mango Blood Orange. I opted for the Lemon Peel Ginger Root flavour (which is essentially ginger ale) and man was it delicious. Maybe I'm overhyping it because I was really thirsty at that point, but it was truely unlike any other carbonated drink I tried. It doesn't leave your teeth gritty from the sugar, it's not overly sweet, and the carbonation is just right.

If you're a soda-pop/carbonated water enthusiast, or just plain thirsty for a non-massed produced bubbly drink, I recommend you give this Australian beverage brand a shot (if you're ever so lucky to find it somewhere, as it appears to be a rarity in grocery store and deli shop fridges).
