Sometimes it’s ok to just accept the pink-frilly-bows-and-goo-gahs girly in you. While I do enjoy girly things, I generally equate the WORD ‘girly’ with the word ‘sweet’. And while I may be girly, well, sweet? I mean... yeah, not so much. I’m pretty certain that if 100 people in my circle of acquaintances were polled, the word ‘sweet’ would never be used to describe me. As a matter of fact, I’m pretty sure that the word that would come up most often is the exact POLAR OPPOSITE of sweet. J
Anyway…
I ran across this line of sodas the other day. And while I don’t normally drink carbonated beverages, the lavender soda caught my eye, and I actually enjoyed it. It was light, not cloyingly sweet, and had a pleasant lavender taste. On a whim, I decided to add a splash of limoncello and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Kind of my big girl version of a root beer float. And you know what? It was just pretty tasty.
