Toasting Christmas with a Bottle of Turkey Soda

• Share

Hot chocolate and hot cider have a little competition for the holiday-beverage market--cold soda. This winter, revelers have a couple of new holiday-themed brews from which to choose. Jones Soda's fivepack of flavored sodas--Turkey & Gravy, Cranberry, Mashed Potato & Butter, Green Bean Casserole and Fruitcake--sold out of their online store within an hour, despite tasting rather revoltingly like turkey, mashed potato and green-bean casserole. For those looking for something a little more quaffable, Oop!Juice (which despite the name is all soda, no juice) offers up blueberry-flavored Gefilte Fizz, sour apple Santa Sauce (which tastes like a melted Jolly Rancher candy) and a cranberry-tinged Turkey Slurpy. All three can be ordered at www.oopstuff.com Also available is Pepsi Holiday Spice, which is regular Pepsi with a peppy pinch of ginger and cinnamon.
