I'm a local soda adventurer. Always seek them out on road trips. Foxon Park is one of the better ones I've had. Vermont's Sweetwater Maple soda is another great one out of New England...brought back a case recently. Our big local, Dr. Brown's is lackluster. Stewart's, while not necessarily local or a small operation, is readily available and much better.
I hear the Mexican Coke with the real cane sugar is on the way out too. It seems everything I like is destined to be eradicated.
Hahaha. Likewise. Especially when typing.
Oh, but I was joking in response to your post. I didn't actually think you liked paying the 1000% markup. It was really my failed attempt at humor.

Oh thank the sweet Lawd! Lawd be havin' mercy on my po soul today.
/\ have mercy, whole bus be packed up tight ....
I've reinvented and reinvigorated the G&T with a dash of green Chartreuse - you know it makes sense!
Mortlach Rare Old.
It's OK.
I think I'll go buy more of the Signatory versions.
Lapsang Souchong tea.
OK, what;s the deal with it. Only tried it because so many Islay whiskeys are said to have Lapsang Souchong notes.
On the other hand when the missus got sick in China they gave her a concoction which she swears is the same shit (her words, not mine).
Shooey?
^Looks like their extracting engine oil to me!
Chateau du Breuil's Pommeau de Normandie, half calvados and half apple juice bringing the alcohol down to a steady 17%, served chilled, is a delightful aperitif.
Fermented walnut/coconut milk
Tried that Zubrowka – Bison Grass Vodka with ginger ale over ice last night.
Id like to say excatly what rum it was I consumed last night but I can't remember...but what I wanted to share is my experience of the swagger that only rum can give...like a strange and certain confidence that you are completely sure footed but in a four dimensional enviroment.
Its back to the algae with me

Boomsma Genever (1 yr in barrels).
Tried Genevers in Amsterdam. Hepcat, I missed ya!
Now bought this to try out. After a week drinking Hendricks with my 84 y.o. mom (who still drinks me under the table- don't know whether to be proud of her or ashamed of myself) bought this Genever to show my son where Gin came from.
Veredict- It's Genevers, all the way down...
