During an outing to a local eatery in my hometown I noticed that this particular establishment sold bottles of certain beverages when one fancy soda in particular caught my fancy. The label color was what originally caught my eye, as it was a light green which clashed against the deep red of the liquid inside.
Sioux City
Cherries 'N Mint
Cherries 'N Mint soda? That alone piqued my curiosity and I absolutely had to get a bottle, for research of course.
Upon returning home I immediately popped the cap off of the bottle and took a long sip. After my sip I put my review cap on and immediately began to dissect the beverage for the benefit of you, my dear friends and readers.
Appearance: The bottle is eye-catching, as I mentioned with the "spearmint" green writing standing starkly against the redness of the soda inside. Not attractive, but it definitely makes you look twice.
Scent: The aroma of cherry instantly fills your nose, and you can detect a faint hint of the mint that is subtle and by no way overpowering.
Taste: Obviously if it looks nice, smells nice, but tastes like swampwater, you definitely wouldn't want anything to do with it. So how does the Cherry 'N Mint stand up? It's ok, but the mint is so absolutely subtle that it's almost not noticeable unless you really try to find it. The cherry was good, but when you promise me mint, give me some mint dangit.
Overall: For a one time deal, I'd say give it a shot. It's a solid cherry soda with a minor hint of mint. As an everyday drink, I'm afraid not.
Close, but not quite...
