some cherry flavored drinks, rated
weather: ☀️ sigh
critters: too hot for critters
cherry coca-cola. somehow not refreshing at all--like there's too much syrup? 4/10.
olipop cherry cola. pretty good, but the flavor is kinda wimpy. cherry colas should be strong like grandma's fist around your forearm. 7/10.
poppi cherry cola. similar to the olipop cherry cola but with a crisper flavor--my current favorite cherry cola. however, $$$. 9/10.
sprite chill cherry lime. crisp, sweet, tart. on paper i should love this, but for some reason i don't. 5/10. (i did have one after swimming once and i was so thirsty it became a 10/10.)
doctor d's tart cherry sparkling drink. has a truly faithful "pie cherry" flavor. when i'm in the mood for that, 8/10, but when i'm not, it's closer to a 5/10. this may be heretical for tart cherry enjoyers but i do wish it were a little sweeter.
cherry hibiscus moment botanical soda. weak, watery flavor, almost like a lacroix. 2/10.
hawaiian soda co luau punch. a pineapple-guava-cherry medley. the guava is dominant, but a juicy cherry comes through on the finish. 8/10. would be 9/10 if the cherry were slightly louder.
topo chico with generous pour of fabbri amarena syrup. easy 10/10. sources say venus was drinking this when vulcan trapped her and mars in a net.
