Now I am not a soda drinker, but I have to admit, on hot days there is nothing like a cool refreshing drink! On days where there is pizza and all kinds of junk foods...I love me the carbonated drinks!
Being a nice hot summer this year and at time for pizza dinners and some movie nights--It was a TREAT to review some Jarritos sodas to go along with our family times!
Even though my roommate from way back when boasted of
her Jarritos soda, I had not tried it. We ended up making
a mixture of Tex-mex food instead of running out to get the soda!
So when we got the chance to try out some Jarritos...you better believe
I jumped at the chance!!!
One thing that I remember though that my roommate said, was that Jarritos
was made from
100% Natural Sugar Cane instead of the corn syrup
regular soda was made of. She said that in Texas she would
drink this alot, and I have to admit I can taste a difference between
this soda and others! The taste of Jarritos is something different than
regular canned pop. It has a real unique taste that is light and not too
thick, heavy and sugar laden. I love it. The carbonation in the soda is very smooth.
It does not kick me in the butt to where I can't really enjoy the taste and flavor. I also
found that when I could not finish a bottle, when kept in the fridge
I found that the Jarritos soda stayed fresh and nicely carbonated.

Not to mention it is a soda in a glass! Maybe that kept the carbonation going?
I don't know but our family had so much fun drinking soda in a glass
--Something about a chilled glass soda bottle made
our meal or movie just a bit more special!
I found that my favorite flavors was Mango and Guava and believe
it or not--PINEAPPLE!
So here is the scoop about the flavors:
Fruit Punch (tutifruti)- It is very yummy! Though not my favorite flavor.
I made the mistake of drinking it before refrigeration. I opened it after the
mail man disappeared from view. I should have been more patient. It tasted
a bit like medicine. BUT after refrigeration, a big difference. I have to say,
please refrigerate this one otherwise it will taste a bit too sweet and too much
like cough medicine.
Grapefruit (toronja)--My sis in law tried this one and it is her favorite. She is
a big soda drinker and she liked this one! I took a sip and you know, I thought it was
very very unique and such a AWESOME flavor!!!
Guava (guayaba)--This is a very surprising flavor that I have to say you MUST try.
Now I don't think it tasted like an actual guava I've tried, but it was lovely and fruity.
Hibiscus (jamaica)--Now this is a nice light flavor. It is not my favorite but
because the flavor is just too light for me!
Mandarin (mandarina)--I love orange soda! This is what it reminded my husband of.
Pineapple (piña)--Can you imagine sipping on a pineapple? I loved this flavor.
I was so surprised that pineapple can make a great tasting soda pop!
Strawberry (fresa)--This reminded me of yes, strawberries. It was good! Who would have known strawberry carbonation could taste well nice?
Tamarind (tamarindo)--This is something my family cooks with, it is a bit sour/sweet.
I think it was an alright flavor, not my favorite, but worth the try if you like sour/sweet.
But it is a complex flavor that if you hadn't had it growing up you might not like it.
Lemon-Lime ("lima-limón")--My Sister's favorite! SHe said it tasted like 7up!
I tasted it and I think it's refreshing and does remind me of Sierra Mist and 7up.
Mango (mango)--One of my favorites! I like that I can "drink" up a mango soda and feel
like a kid again! When I was little we used to eat a lot of mangoes!!!
Cola (cola)--this is one of the most safest flavors, and indeed it tastes like cola.
I think it is more light tasting than other colas which is a nice difference. I am not a soda
drinker so I kind of like this flavor of Cola because it is light tasting.
