Review of 'R. W. Knudsen' Red Raspberry

R W Knudsen -- Red Raspberry (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Summary: this is such a refreshing drink! It can work very well as a mixer with alcohol, but I really think I actually prefer it bare bones. I loved that it was sweet (perfectly, by the way), but has no added sugars. The smell was clearly raspberry and I could identify some kind of berry flavour but wouldn't have been able to determine it was raspberry if I didn't smell it.

God bless R. W. Knudsen for making a carbonated beverage with *no* added sugars that is delicious and guilt free. I actually haven't had a carbonated drink for about 7 years (with the exception of the very very rare rum and coke).

You should put this in the coldest section of your fridge or in the freezer for a bit before drinking it--it's so super cold and refreshing...wow! Because I'm not used to carbonated drinks, it actually made me really gassy and uncomfortable (until I was finally able to burp that shit right out!).

I would definitely buy this again.
