Re: sugar free drinks

We only drink Diet sodas (as opposed to regular ones) as well as use Sweet&Low instead of sugar.
And we don't really care if it is Pepsi or Coke.
Since they raised the prices we are even more on the look out for offers.
We even started to try the Walmart brands of Diet Sodas (Diet Dr. Thunder), because of it being half the price of Dr.Pepper when not on sale.
Honestly, with these kinds of savings I was able to adjust taste-vise pretty fast

Re: sugar free drinks

What kind of reg soda did you drink?

I like Diet Dr Pepper, Diet Coke w/Lime, Diet Mountain Dew, Diet Barqs Root Beer. Some others I will drink fro time to time is Diet Big Red, or Sunkist Orange if I want to be a kid again LOL. I have seen Diet A&W Cream Soda but have not tried it yet.

To me Diet Coke has a lead taste to it, like pencil lead. Coke Zero is better.

The diet root beer then diet DP go the best with cigars.

It just may take you some time to get used to the taste. I have been drinking diet sodas for years and a reg soda taste bad to me.

Re: sugar free drinks

i used to drink a little bit of everything so no real preference.

havanajohn recommended fresca and i have to say it is pretty good. he was right the citrus taste goes excellent with a cigar.

Re: sugar free drinks

I drink a lot of SF Kool-aid, Hawaiian Punch, and Crystal Light Lemonade. I used to love SF Country Time, but they have taken it off of the market. I warn you, they are WAAAAAAAAY sweeter than the originals.

I've also taken to making iced tea with Splenda to have with my cigars.

Diet Mountain Dew is a great sugar free drink.

Re: sugar free drinks

Pure-blended smoothies, I'm in love with them and they don't contain sugar if you're careful, much better than diet or other such sodas, aside from that pure-fruit juice, and flavored water, and then of course there's some wines.

Re: sugar free drinks

I recommend experimenting with the store brands at your grocery stores. Besides a much lower price, I find that they often have less "chemical" taste than major brands' diet drinks. After years of drinking diet drinks I can't stand the taste of corn syrup flavored drinks. It's like tilting up a bottle of Log Cabin!
