Cherry Lime Coke

Quite a few of my combinations are over the top, I know. They are more of a treat type of drink, than an everyday standard. They are fun to drink, but just a little too much to handle on an everyday basis.

The Cherry Lime Coke, on the other hand, could very easily become a standard. The Cherry Coke is already something that you could drink day in and day out without getting too tired of it. But then add a Lime, and it creates a nice little zing to the flavor. Its not too much, but just enough to deviate from the traditional Cherry Coke.

This is a combination that I could very easily drink again and again. And I suggest that you do too.

Raspberry Pineapple Limeade

Uuuggghhhh....chunks. So gross.

Michelle M. and I were out doing our Saturday morning errands. We pulled into Sonic and Michelle requested that I try anything with pineapple. So the Raspberry Pineapple Limeade was born.

In theory, the Raspberry Pineapple Limeade is tasty, but the chunks! The pineapple chunks just ruin it for me. I try really hard to look past them. I move my straw up slightly so that I don't suck up the chunks that are sitting on the bottom of the cup. That does not always work.

It's such a catch 22, because you need the pineapple chunks to get the full pineapple flavor, yet I can't handle them. Oh what to doooo??? I almost need a stainer straw. Maybe I can invent one and make loads of money. If anyone out there is an inventor and would like to invent a stainer straw so I don't have to deal with drinking chunks, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Chocolate Grape Cherry Coke

On one of the many Sonic commercials, one of the guys orders a "Chocolate Grape Cherry Coke". It really gets his tastebuds going in the mornings. I really wanted to post the commercial on here, but due to my limited knowledge of how to do stuff like that...I did not. But I am sure you have seen the commercial at least once right? Well, pay attention to the commercials next time they come on, you might see it.

I was dared by Donna to try this crazy combo. And I did. Let me tell you what...it tastes exactly like a Cherry Tootsie Pop! NO JOKE. I have no idea what my expectations were of this drink. I knew it was going to be weird, but no idea it would be like this. Sometimes I could taste the grape. And then it would taste like a Grape Tootsie Pop. But the Cherry flavor really stood out.

If you love Cherry Tootsie Pops, DRINK THIS COMBO!!! The Chocolate Grape Cherry Coke.

Cherry Vanilla Diet Dr. Pepper

A few years ago Dr. Pepper came out with their "Soda Shop" drinks. And the only one that I liked was the Cherry Vanilla Diet Dr. Pepper. I've said this before, but just to remind you, I am not a Dr. Pepper fan. I never have been. I can tolerate Diet Dr. Pepper, but I am not one of those rabid "must have Dr. Pepper five times a day" type of people.

But since I enjoy this particular Soda Shop creation in the can...I figured I would give the Sonic version a whirl.

The Cherry Vanilla Diet Dr. Pepper is better than the one Dr. Pepper produces. But I feel like this is to be expected. It really does have that "soda shop" feel that Dr. Pepper was trying recreate. I am not trying to say that Dr. Pepper missed the mark with theirs, its just that the fountain drink with the flavoring added is soooo much better. I almost hate to say more "real", but I think you would understand what I meant by that. The actual syrups and the fountain carbonation... maybe "fresh" is the word for it.

I really really enjoyed this drink. I would suggest it to anyone who is looking for that soda shop experience and loves a good Dr. Pepper.

Grapple Limeade (Grape Apple Limeade)

The Grapple. It's a combination of a grape and an apple. I actually saw one of these at Kroger the other day. But it cost like $4 for one! That is just silly. So I put this new invention into a Sonic drink combination. Grape Apple Limeade...or The Grapple Limeade.

They use apple juice and grape syrup flavor. I think the grape syrup is stronger than the apple juice. Every now and then I got a little taste of the apple-ness of the drink, but the grape outdoes the apple by a long shot. I think that a straight Grape Limeade would be stronger. The apple tames it down a little bit.

You can try if you like. But it's nothing to brag about.

Vanilla Lemon Sprite

So let us go back to my days as a lush. There is this shot called the Chocolate Cake Shot. The easy way to do it is lick the sugar, take the shot of vanilla vodka, and then suck on a lemon. I don't know what it is about that combination that the aftertaste is like a freshly baked, homemade, chocolate cake...but it is goooood.

In my exploration to try more Vanilla + Flavor + Sprite combinations, I wondered if a Vanilla Lemon Sprite would have the same effect as a Chocolate Cake Shot. I don't think I was too far off in this assumption, but the Sonic drink didn't quite hit the mark.

The Vanilla Lemon Sprite was good. It doesn't really taste like those three flavors just combined. But not the chocolate cake flavor like the shot either. I can't really pinpoint it. But I do suggest trying it. So to all of those out there reading this, help me out here. Go try the Vanilla Lemon Sprite and tell me what you think about it. What can I relate this drink to? I am stumped.

Happy 30th Post: Strawberry-Lemon Coke

Hello Everyone!!!! Today is my 30th post on this here Sonic Blog. And I am still having fun. I am a little saddened that I haven't been able to keep up with posting as much as I would like to. But until I am getting paid to do nothing but drink tasty Sonic beverages and blog about them, I will just have to squeeze in posts when I can.

Today's drink: Strawberry-Lemon Coke.

I love Lemon Coke. And I have yet to try just Strawberry Coke, but I thought "Hhhmmmm...why not try Strawberry-Lemon Coke. I wonder what that will taste like?"

The lemon portion is just sliced lemons squeezed into the drink. The strawberries are the thick, syrupy, strewn strawberries like you would see on top of a strawberry sundae. So since they use the actual fruit and not just flavoring, the acidic content of the fruit is high. It kind of trumped the Coke. I couldn't taste the Coke at all. It was if the Coke was just the liquid base to get the strawberry-lemon flavor into my mouth.

The Strawberry-Lemon Coke is not a bad drink, but it was kind of hard to finish. Just weird.

Thanks for putting up with me for 30 posts everybody. I look forward to the next 30.
