Maine Root lemon lime soda: Lightly carbonated citrus soda that is on the sweet side. I prefer a more fizzy drink, but the overall flavor is not bad, though it's not distinctive enough to purchase again. 3.0/5.0

Mito Yuzu Cider: This bottle of citrus soda from Shimane Prefecture, Japan, was purchased from Japan Village's Sunrise Mart in Brooklyn. The soda tastes like a citrus-leaning ramune; quite sweet, but the acidic yuzu flavor helps balance it out.

As far as citrus sodas I've had, this is definitely above average. 3.5/5.0

Motto sparkling matcha tea: A lightly carbonated green tea beverage with honey, apple cider vinegar, and lemon. The aftertaste is slightly off and medicinal, reminiscent of aspartame, though the ingredients are all natural. Not the most flavorful or refreshing. 3.0/5.0

Natural Brew Outrageous Ginger Beer: I'm likely to purchase any ginger beer I haven't tried before, and this brand was no exception. Its spicy ginger flavor is more potent than most, though I did find the drink overall to be on the sweet side. Generally decent - probably somewhere in the top 40% of ginger beers I've had. 3.0/5.0

Orangina Muscat Sparkling Soda: A special edition grape flavored Orangina introduced for the Japanese market, this soda still contains citrus (orange, grapefruit, and lemon) with the addition of "Muscat of Alexandria," a type of white wine grape. Like normal Orangina, it only has a small percentage of actual juice (12%) but tastes less artificial than Sunkist or other orange soda alternatives. The main flavor is still orange soda (as opposed to tasting like grape soda), but it does have a different enough aftertaste that... (read more) 3.5/5.0
