Soda Folk - Blueberry Muffin Soda (Holland and Barrett) By @Cinabar

I loved everything about this drink, unfortunately, except the taste. I wanted to like this Soda Folk Blueberry Muffin Soda, I really did. I love the ethos of Soda Folk with the natural ingredients. The bright purple design on the can made me smile. The flavour sounds quirky and interesting. There aren’t many drinks flavoured with cake. I was truly excited to give this drink a try and see what they had done with the flavour.

It is a dark red/purple shade of drink, and fizzed pleasingly when poured. The aroma was nice and fruity. I took a sip and that is where I was disappointed. The drink has a milder flavour than I was expecting, there is certainly a blueberry flavour there and it tastes natural, but it is reminiscent of something else, like a milder version of cough sweets and I just couldn’t find myself enjoying the drink. I couldn’t pick up on the baked muffin taste at all. The flavour lacked depth, but this might just be because I am so used to all the strong flavours of artificial drinks. Maybe that is on me.
