Last night I was doing some final touches on my Christmas
shopping. I must have been in a thirsty mood. because I walked out with a
bunch of Limited Edition flavored sodas from Jones, and a company I had
never heard of, called SNOW.
The company name was what caught me into wanting to purchase it. I
remember eating snow as a kid...so the name put me in a happy giddy
childish mood. I used to eat snow...and now, according to this drinks
name... I could drink it too. Delightful.
I had a few flavor options, but I went with a bottle of Cranberry-Lime Chill, because the clear SNOW just did not look as quenching, and it reminded me of actual melted snow, so I avoided that one.
Cranberry-Lime Chill is a light pink color carbonated soda, and looked relatively yummy, so I went with it. It only came to $1.49 a bottle. The bottle of SNOW comes with 12 ounces of soda, and it is a glass see through bottle. (I always think beverages that come in glass bottles taste more crisp).
Anyhow, nowhere on the bottle did it mention that SNOW had a minty after taste. Hold on....after taking the time to read the back (very) small label print... it in fact states it has a crisp minty flavoring. I wish they would of stated that a bit larger on the front label though. The front only claims it is a 'natural sparkling beverage'.
Great.
I absolutely HATED Jones Limited Edition Candy Cane Soda, and if this one tasted anything like that bottle of puke, I was going to throw it away.
The Taste-O-Meter
I chilled the drink first, because according to their site, chilling it will make it taste better.
I guess it worked, because after sipping Cranberry-Lime Chill, I actually was sort of impressed. It had a distinct cranberry bite to it, followed by an extremely low flavored note of lime. The mint was also very obvious, but not overpowering and disgusting like other mint drinks I have tried.
Overall:
SNOW is a neat new carbonated beverage to add to the list of gifts to give to those you don't know well. They would also be neat drinks to serve at your holiday party. SNOW can also give yummy flavoring to vodka and/or rum.
It is a festive drink, from a new company, that should definitely be considered. I like SNOW, and usually I hate minty drinks. Especially minty carbonated drinks.
SNOW though, is good. Two thumbs up from me.
Recommended?
Yes, SNOW gets the official seal of approval in my opinion. For only $1.49 you really can't loose.
You can find individual bottles of SNOW at any local Target. I have not seen them sold in cases or packs as of yet.
