Dry Soda

Dry Soda

We recently sampled the all-natural line of Dry Sodas. The line includes four gourmet flavors: Lavendar, Kumquat, Lemongrass, and Rhubarb. These refreshing spritzers are good for your health and your waistline, ranging from 50 to 70 calories a bottle. You'll find drink recipes online (we recommend Kumquat and Rhubarb for drink mixes -- the two sweeter sodas). Our universal favorite: Lemongrass which pairs well with nearly everything. The website recommends the soda with Asian-inspired dishes (and we agree), but we equally like its light,crisp, refreshing taste with heavier meals, like pizza.

Walteria’s set of three vanishing creatures depicts animals that, while once hunted as trophies, are -- today -- being wiped out due to the increased threat of deforestation.
