We’re incredibly spoiled for choice these days when it comes to tasty beverages, but it’s often true what they say… the oldies are often the best of the bunch and this is no less true for drinks than it is for anything else.
If it’s a touch of nostalgia you’re looking for to tantalise your tastebuds with next, then what about stocking the cupboards full of delicious cream soda cans, the origins of which can be traced all the way back to 1852, which is pretty impressive staying power, if you ask us!
The recipe for this illustrious beverage first appeared in an edition of the Michigan Farmer, featuring the key ingredients of cream of tartar, water, Epsom salts, milk, sugar, tartaric acid and an egg.
Now, this may not sound particularly appetising so rest assured that the recipe has certainly been tweaked over the last 170 years or so to become the drink we know and love today.
For example, a line of cream sodas was developed by one Dr Brown in 1868, featuring ginger, black cherry and celery, as well as vanilla – which is the main flavour profile you’ll find in modern-day cream sodas.
In fact, it’s thought that it is this addition of vanilla that lends these sodas their creamy texture, so we can all be very grateful to Doc Brown for having the foresight to throw some into the mix.
Here at Rebelicious Drinks, we’ve got a particularly snazzy CBD cream soda drink that’s proving to be very popular at the moment… perfectly refreshing, just in time for summer!
So now you can enjoy the wonderful taste of your favourite nostalgic soda pop, complete with organic Madagascan vanilla extract and other natural flavourings, while reaping all the apparent relaxation benefits of the added CBD.
So grab a can, hit the beach and have a wonderful day!
