Spring is here, and although mother nature seems to have missed the memo, it doesn’t mean that you can’t start your getting a Spring in your step.
I got the opportunity to do a taste test of Sipp, an organic sparkling soda that’s lightly sweetened with agave. Let me tell you, I got my drink on tasting all six flavors in one sitting: Zesty Orange, Ginger Blossom, Mojo Berry, Lemon Flower, Ruby Rose and Summer Pear.
So I’m not the biggest fan of flowery drinks and most of these have a mixture of a flower substance. So drinking them alone was not my cup of tea, but they ,were definitely an adventure to try.
Zesty Orange tasted a lot like an orange fanta with a little kick. I don’t like spicy, but it wasn’t an overpowering spice. Just a slight tingle at the end of your tongue. Mix this with some orange juice and vodka and make it a fun woohoo brunch drink with the gals.
Ginger Blossom is a combination of two of my least favorite things — ginger and flowers. So I cheated on this one and gave it to co-worker to try for me. Her take was that it was very light on the ginger flavor and the flavor reminded her of melted vanilla ice cream. She wouldn’t drink this on it’s own, but mixed with bourbon it hit the spot.
Ruby Rose the floweriest of them all. My suggestion with this flavor is to mix it with a red or white wine and make it a wine spritzer.
Summer Pear was my favorite out of all of them. None of the overpowering flower flavor, light refreshing drink for the summer. I still wouldn’t drink it on it’s own. Make it into a fancy martini with some vodka and a lemon twist and I’d call it a pinkies up party.
Mojo Berry has an overpowering mint flavor, so it is a great mixer for a flavored mojito when you don’t have fresh mint on hand.
Lemon Flower reminded me of a bouche-y 7Up. You grew up from drinking the standard 7up so you moved to Sipp Lemon Flower and it’s better for you!
My overall assessment, I would not drink these alone but I’d turn them all into wine spritzers in a heartbeat and invite all the girls over (or just stay home alone and binge on Netflix).
