Poor Man’s Limonata

Published on Friday, June 11, 2010, by Joyce Slaton / Edit Post

San Pellegrino's sparkling, tart-sweet soda Limonata now has a down-market sibling: Jelly Belly's Lemon Drop. It doesn't have the Euro cachet of Limonata (my, that Jelly Belly logo is looking inexcusably '80s) and the color is an artificial piss-yellow, but the flavor is there: pleasantly tart, crisp and bubbly, and a nonsyrupy aftertaste (it's sweetened with sugar, not HFCS). The soda, which is sold at grocery stores and Walgreens across the country, is available in four-packs for about $4 and comes in flavors including sour cherry, green apple, and tangerine.
