Grownups out there who still hang onto that fanciful taste for soda face some difficult calls. If they drink regular soda, they ingest a lot of sugar and risk becoming a poster child for Type 2 Diabetes. If they drink too much diet soda, the artificial sweeteners promise to rot their brains.
The soft drinks from DRY Soda are brewed up to be less sweet and lightly carbonated — craft soda with just four all-natural ingredients. DRY recently launched their brand new Discovery Pack to let consumer sample the craft soda. The Discovery Pack is a 12-pack of 12 oz. cans featuring four servings of each of DRY’s best-selling flavors: Vanilla Bean, Blood Orange and Cherry.

To best demonstrate the usefulness of DRY Soda, its creators sent over some late summer cocktail (or mocktail) recipes including their product. Of course, you’ll have to pick up some DRY Soda to make these work for you. Funny how that works.
