IBC Root Beer. If there is better root beer on the planet, I ain't found it. I also like vernors and most kinds of creme soda.

A & W Draft Root Beer is my current favorite. But I truly love sirop de cassis mixed in plain soda when I'm in Europe.

Spicy ginger ale!

Vernor's Ginger Ale - tho' I don't think it is as good as it used to be. I can only get Vernor's once in a while, so I'll vote for Fresca!

My favorite is gingerale, but I also like A&W rootbeer and all the pepsi products.

Here's a recipe for homemade gingerale :

2 cups water
2 cups sugar
2 cups sliced ginger

bring to a boil, turn heat down to a simmer and reduce to a syrupy consitsency. strain.

mix 1 oz syrup to 7 oz soda water and garnish with a lime wedge.

then with the ginger pieces that you strained out of the syrup, you can dust them with sugar and place in a 225 F oven (can't remember how long, think it's like 2-3 hours) and then you'll also wind up with ginger candy.

Observation. How can you tell Americans from Brits if nobody speaks? Give them each a glass of root beer. The Americans will drink it, and mostly enjoy it. The Brits will spit it out and say, "That is DISGUSTING!". Go figure.

Diet Rite--NO aspartame! among other things!

[Kimmie]

A Coke "Classique" for me please.

[Pete]

Green River-they actually now bottle it

Sprecher's Root Beer-Hands down, the BEST!!!!

Vernor's-the old recipe. I agree, the stuff now tastes different.

Nehi Grape Soda

and finally, Cream Soda

[Linda Smith]

Soda...with scotch.

[BevReview Steve]

"Soda Pop" - what's that? I know what pop is, but soda pop?

[Kimmie]

It's just another expression for soft drink, Chiliboy!

So, what's your favorite?

coke..... ice cold, with all the fiz shaken out of it in a large plastic bottle refreshing!

Make your own Cola

It's the real thing. Well, almost.

Simple syrup: 1 cup sugar + 1 cup water

1/2 cup seltzer or club soda
2 tablespoons simple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon lemon juice
pinch of cinnamon
baker's caramel (like Kitchen Bouquet) as required
ice cubes

Bring sugar and water to a boil, simmer, then cool. That is your simple syrup. In a glass tumbler, stir simple syrup, with vanilla, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Add club soda (carbonated spring water is fine too) then baker's caramel to produce the correct shade.

Blindfold someone and have fun.
