I can\u2019t say for sure because I don\u2019t spend much time at skateparks or halfpipes, but I don\u2019t imagine too many people under 21 grabbing an ice-cold ginger ale after doing some kind of extreme sport.<\/p>\n<p>Even for the legally-able-to-drink-but-under-65 crowd, ginger ale is something that might be included in a fancy drink you order to impress a date, but not a beverage you imbibe on a regular basis. <\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, lemonade is a drink for kids. Sure, adults will get a glass at an outrageously marked-up price from the neighborhood stand run by kids who always mess up the directions and either serve the strongest or weakest lemonade ever concocted. And yes, if you are of drinking age you\u2019ve might&#8217;ve had lemonade with vodka. But if you are at a fancy dinner for a job interview \u2014 like at the type of place with tablecloths and metal utensils \u2014 chances are you are not ordering a lemonade (unless said interview is for a job at Country Time or Snapple).<\/p>\n<p>So that brings us to Canada Dry Ginger Ale and Lemonade. As soft drinks go, it\u2019s not very creative or wild. Soda flavors have proliferated over the past decade in a seemingly endless pursuit of the most extreme outcomes to the point where bacon-flavored drinks are pass\u00e9. And this Canada Dry offering certainly isn\u2019t a fancy craft soda using dragon fruit, passionfruit or other variation of fruit that I\u2019m not certain truly exists. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Canada-Dry-Ginger-Ale-and-Lemonade-2.jpg?resize=550%2C568&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Canada Dry Ginger Ale and Lemonade 2\" title=\"Canada Dry Ginger Ale and Lemonade 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"568\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just ginger ale and lemonade, but it&#8217;s surprising this combination of flavors is really satisfying and refreshing.<\/p>\n<p>The aroma is barely existent, with a faint smell of ginger ale and no lemon at all, and the color is more translucent than you might expect. But the flavor is where this drink shines, as it should. You do have to focus a little to pick out the separate ginger ale and lemonade flavors, as they meld into almost a mellow Mountain Dew-like taste with a bit less citrus kick and a touch less carbonation. Further research confirms that this also makes an excellent mixer with vodka or other spirits. <\/p>\n<p>The label touts that it&#8217;s made \u201cfrom real ginger and real juice,\u201d but before you get ready to count a glass as a daily serving of fruit, take notice that it contains a whopping 1 percent lemon juice. For the mathematically-challenged, included is a visual aid showing 12 ounces of the drink with the amount of lemon juice it actually contains (about 3.5 milliliters). A juice drink this is not. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Canada-Dry-Ginger-Ale-and-Lemonade-3.jpg?resize=509%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Canada Dry Ginger Ale and Lemonade 3\" title=\"Canada Dry Ginger Ale and Lemonade 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"509\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I guess this would be easy to make yourself by mixing ginger ale and lemonade, but why go to that trouble when the good folks at Canada Dry have already found the right flavor combination that is surprisingly good. <\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 12 fl. oz. \u2013 140 calories, 0 grams of fat, 50 milligrams of sodium, 36 grams of carbohydrates, 36 grams of sugar, and 0 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $1.00<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 2 liters<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> H-E-B<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Pleasant, mellow and refreshing flavor.
