Zelita. It's a banana flavored soda from Crete, Greece

I love chinotto but I wish it was actually widely sold anywhere but italy.

Georgia has a ton of incredible tasting sodas. They probs have the best tasting sodas out there for the sweet stuff.

In Portugal, we have a few drinks like:

SumolA fruity carbonated drink, more popular in the summer
CompalCloser to natural juice
Kima (only available in the Azores)Soft fruity taste and lightly carbonated. Very refreshing

If I'm not mistaken they're all produced in Portugal

Edit: I forgot a couple!

BongoSugared up juice fruit marketed to young people, loved by all

BrisaFruity soda with a lighter taste than Sumol imo

Laranjada (available mostly in Madeira)Only tried it once, hard to describe, but tastes like a lab made orange juice

You also have Brisa (passion fruit soda, similar to Lima) and Laranjada (orange soda) from Madeira

I love this shit so much that I bought the trees and grew the fruit. like little grapefruit/mandarin orange cross. trees died from scale bug though so I never got to try making it from scratch

Is the label black or clear?

I like the minimalism. So much less 'in your face' like other top brands.

I love chinotto but so far italy was the only place i could get it consistently from. When i lived in hungary i had to go to a special import shop, in spain as well and in sweden right now i even asked a person whos from italy, and i couldnt even find it in one of those import places. From what i heard its because most people hate the taste of it so its only sustainable to sell it italy - shame.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Some italian restaurants have it. And those that do have consistently been good!

Iceland has Appelsin, which is like Tango before they took all the sugar out.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I have no idea how Icelandic folks feel about it, but while there on vacation my wife and I loved it.

Iโ€™m not from Malta but when I used to go as a kid I always looked forward to drinking Kinnie. It had a weird, but nice, taste. For a time you could get it in the UK, but itโ€™s not the same without the sun.

Chinotto is so great. I wish they'd sell it in Germany as well :(

@Sunshine
Regina - very special lemonade. You can mix it with beer to "Tango". :mastogrin:
