Made with fruit and herb extracts, Dry Soda Co.’s line of beverages has decidedly adult flavors: lavender, kumquat, lemongrass and rhubarb. And their Lavendar Soda is our pick of the week.

Not as syrupy-sweet as conventional sodas, the Lavendar is made with a small amount of pure cane sugar, meaning fewer calories than normally seen in a 12-ounce bottle. Containing lavendar sourced from farms in Washington, it is said to present a subtle floral scent and crisp flavour.

And as we have yet to see it on store shelves in our part of the continent, we turn to Seattle Bon Vivant for their taste test.
