I haven’t posted a Thirsty Thursday drink in a while. However, the drink that I tried this week was definitely worth talking about. I go to a local market in the Dallas area almost every Sunday. They have everything from drinks, tacos, breads, salsas and fresh vegetables. This past Sunday, there was a new vendor, SoCo Ginger Beer. I had never heard of them before but I love ginger beer and decided I would give it a try. In fact, in the past couple of years, I have become quite obsessed with most things that are ginger flavored. 

All it took was one sip and I was hooked. This delicious drink is “rooted in Austin, made in Denton”. So, this is a Texas product to the core. The standard ginger beer was amazing and then I tried the watermelon flavor. I tried the peach flavor last and I was in love. All of them were very good, but the peach one was my favorite. There was just enough of the spicy ginger taste, coupled with a subtle sweetness of the peach. It was amazing. They poured right from a tap and filled my glass bottle. Save the bottle and you get a discounted price of the next one. Let’s just say this weekend can’t come fast enough. I wish I had bought two bottles on my first try. 

This is hands down the best ginger beer I have ever tasted. The ingredients are pretty simple (sparkling water, fresh lemon, fresh ginger, fresh cane sugar). Basically, it’s a must have and so refreshing in this summer heat. If you’re in the Dallas area, make your way to the local markets to catch them or visit www.socogingerbeer.com. Trust me, you will not be disappointed if you try it! 

Bottoms up….it’s Thirsty Thursday!
