Maine Root Pumpkin Pie Soda
On November 1st, the stores turn into a Christmas Palace, ultimately forgetting that it is still fall time. At least until the day after Thanksgiving, we still need to pay our respect to the one gourd of fall, the pumpkin. As a pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice obsessed nation, every year more and more pumpkin products hit the shelves. This season has been filled with more pumpkin products than we could ever imagine.
While at Whole Foods Market in New York City yesterday, I found Maine Root Pumpkin Pie Soda. I never saw this product down in Florida so I just had to try it. This is a handcrafted soda produced in Portland, Maine. Carbonated water, organic cane juice, and spices make up the ingredients to this soda. It tastes like a mix of cream soda and ginger ale with fall spices and an orange color. But, it is also fascinating how this soda can taste like a carbonated pumpkin pie without any pumpkin in the ingredients at all. The spices are not too strong or overpowering. You can think of it as a sweet fall spice in a bottle. It is caffeine free and gluten free with minimal ingredients. The organic cane juice used to make this soda is also fair trade certified. For those of you who love ice cream floats, this soda would be great on top of organic vanilla ice cream. All in all, you can be assured that you are getting a true craft soda with a fall favorite pie taste.
Maine Root Pumpkin Pie Soda is sold at select Whole Foods Market or specialty food stores. You can visit http://maineroot.com/sodas/pumpkin-pie-soda/ for more information.
Cheers to another fall handcrafted, gourmet, fair trade, minimal ingredient, sweet, unique product!
