White Peach Fanta in a fancy bottle is definitely a thing, especially when it’s nice and cold. To be honest, I never knew there were different types of peaches. For me, a peach is a peach—but who am I to judge?
The most important thing is that I enjoyed the drink. What’s more, I’d buy it again. Since it’s the Japanese version of Fanta, that might not be so easy. We’re clearly far too boring when it comes to the flavours of our drinks.
Today I’m trying an Icelandic Ginger & Peach COLLAB drink with fish collagen. The first thing you notice is the smell. It’s very distinctive. I tried to pinpoint what it was exactly, but I’m still not sure. Luckily, it didn’t smell like fish. I don’t think I would’ve been able to handle that.
Once you get used to the smell, it’s time for the taste. And honestly, it’s not as bad as I thought it would be. I was worried the ginger would completely take over, but I was pleasantly surprised. Peach is actually the main flavour you notice most. Admittedly, it doesn’t stay with you for very long. It’s just a short, pleasant taste, and then it’s gone.
All in all, it was a nice drink and I did enjoy it. Would I buy it myself? Probably not. But a mate gave it to me, so I was happy to give it a go.
Here’s another winter-edition drink. For some reason, I decided to try these now closer to summer rather than Christmas. But let’s get back to the drink itself: IRN-BRU Spiced Ginger & Cinnamon.
It’s not as good as the gingerbread Pepsi. I love everything cinnamon-related, but this one was lacking that note. You do get a lot of ginger, though, and that flavour really sticks with you. I’m not sure that’s what I want from a drink.
Needless to say, this was a one-time experience. I didn’t think about winter at any point while drinking it.
Do you miss Xmas, but don’t want to gain those extra pounds around your midsection? Their gingerbread-flavoured Pepsi is the answer for you. At first, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to take the risk. I wasn’t sure if “drinking” cookies was something I’d like to try, but I was positively surprised. It tastes really good. Yes, you can taste the gingerbread, but not for long, and it mixes nicely with the sweetness of Pepsi. Definitely worth trying.
I had some expectations when I tried this, but I was disappointed. Yes, it has a Dr Pepper kick, and yes, you can taste the cream soda, but it all disappears pretty quickly. After a second, you’re forgetting what you’re drinking. It’s another example of mixing two flavours to make something funky……..and another example where it didn’t work. And I’m saying this with regret, because I’m a massive fan of Dr Pepper.
Tymbark created a carbonated version of their classic cactus drink. And if you’ve ever wondered whether you could get injured by drinking a cactus, you can test your theory now. Let me tell you—it’s a pretty good drink. And the carbonation doesn’t ruin the original taste.
