\"Cheerwine<\/a><\/p>\n

The Southern favorite, Cheerwine, used to be on my soda bucket list. <\/p>\n

Yes, I have a soda bucket list. <\/p>\n

Cheerwine. Chugged.<\/p>\n

Moxie. Imbibed.<\/p>\n

Big Red. Knocked back.<\/p>\n

Coco Fizz. Consumed.<\/p>\n

Faygo. Someday, yo.<\/p>\n

Dublin Dr Pepper. Unfortunately, never, since it\u2019s not being made anymore.<\/p>\n

To be honest, for a while, I thought Cheerwine was an alcoholic beverage. But thanks to the internet and one really boring evening at home, I learned it was not. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to drink it, and, holy cheer, it’s one sweet cherry soda. Sweet because it made my sweet tooth dance like the inflatable tube guy you see at car dealerships and sweet because it\u2019s one awesome soda. Think of it as Dr Pepper, but instead of having 23 flavors, it has one flavor \u2014 cherry.<\/p>\n

Being both from the South, Cheerwine and Krispy Kreme decided to join forces to create a Cheerwine with a hint of Krispy Kreme icing. This would\u2019ve been a nice flavor to introduce next year, since 2017 is Cheerwine\u2019s 100th birthday, but maybe the company plans to introduce Cheerwine with a hint of birthday cake to celebrate.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time the two brands have come together for a product. They also did a Cheerwine-flavored Krispy Kreme donut, I mean, doughnut.<\/p>\n

\"Cheerwine<\/a><\/p>\n

Cheerwine Kreme is noticeably lighter in color than original Cheerwine. While the original is Dr Pepper dark, the limited edition soda is like a slightly darker Big Red soda. It has an aroma that instantly makes me think of Vanilla Coke. It also has a vanilla flavor that instantly makes me think of a red creme soda.<\/p>\n

I love red cream soda, so I enjoyed Cheerwine Kreme immensely. But it tastes exactly like a red creme soda. That’s an issue because Cheerwine has a unique flavor and the flavor of this isn’t.<\/p>\n

A special thanks goes to Impulsive Buy reader Robert Harris who sent me the bottles of Cheerwine and Cheerwine Kreme. Cheers, Robert!<\/strong><\/p>\n
