Lemon-lime soda
Crisp and citrusy with a light sweetness and fine carbonation.
Lens analyzedLemon-lime soda is a clear, carbonated soft drink flavored with citrus oils rather than cola extract, giving it a lighter, less syrupy sweetness than a cola. It's often used as a mixer since its flavor stays in the background.
Where it comes from
Clear citrus sodas emerged in the early 1900s as an alternative to the darker cola drinks dominating the market, built around lemon and lime oils instead of caramel color and cola flavoring.
Buying it
Check whether it's the regular or diet version, since the sweeteners used give each a noticeably different aftertaste.
Storing it
Keep unopened bottles or cans in the pantry and chill before drinking.
Keeps about 9 months in the pantry.
