my favourite fizzy drink brands

Below are my favourite fizzy drink brands. I've tasted a number of flavoured carbonated beverages over the years, but few have provided the exquisite experience of power, strength and character such as these, making for an event best enjoyed when drinking in small, delicate sips. And with the appropriate palate

Ting is a carbonated beverage popular in the Caribbean. It is flavoured with St. Kitt's or Jamaican grapefruit juice (from concentrate), and is both tart and sweet. It comes in a green glass bottle, or more rarely in a green and yellow can. Like Orangina, the beverage contains a small amount of sediment consisting of grapefruit juice pulp. Ting is produced under licence by Cott Beverages.

Doogh is a yogurt-based beverage popular in Iran, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan and Armenia. It is made by beating unflavoured yogurt until smooth, and then diluting with water to a consistency similar to whole milk. Salt (and sometimes pepper) is aded, and commonly dried mint is mixed in as well. Carbonation is achieved by letting it ferment. Doogh is generally served chilled or over ice.

Mitsuya Cider is a Japanese carbonated drink created in 1884 and now produced by Asahi Soft Drinks. Its basic flavour is somewhat similar to sprite but less sweet. Additional flavours also available include grape, lemon, mikan and white peach. On occasions, Mitsuya Cider releases its "White Cider" variation, which may come with its own alternate flavour: white cider with melon.

Mitsuya Cider used to be sold exclusively in ornately decorated metal bottles, but is now produced primarily in plastic. The vintage metal bottles are still available for nostalgic customers.
