While I applaud their bravery of featuring lavender as a flavor, I was slightly disappointed with the results. It wasn't horrible, but for my taste buds, the lavender could have been a bit stronger. On the last bottle I had added a good squeeze of lemon. It needed just that bit of tartness to balance it out. With lemon, it was really refreshing and I would definitely buy it again. I do wish they would up the essence of lavender though. If you're going to go for something that unique, go for it!
The packaging is Brilliant. I loved the Flavor Profile, Characteristics, and Pairing Ideas that were on the side of the box. The logo was appealing and even the bubbles delighted that part of my brain that sings, "it's pretty - must have".
They really did put a lot of detail into the packaging. Even right down to the bottle top.
Fresh Market had two other flavors: Lemongrass and Rhubarb. If you have a look at DRY Soda's website, they also have other interesting flavors.
Creating a more sophisticated soda for grown ups is a fantastic idea. Kudos to them, and I can't wait to try the others!

Hi Amy, I love the bottle cap and all. Packaging is everything!
Maybe I will go there and get some bottles.
Wow, I would love to taste this. I wonder where I can get it in my area.
Hi Michelle,
Fresh Market is the only place I've seen it at. I think they have a thing on their website that tells you who carry their products. Unless that was order online, I can't remember. I think I'm going to try making Lavender Soda using some Lavender Sugar. We'll see what happens!
Interesting :)
