The Sopranos Old Fashioned Italian Sodas

I've been sitting on these for a while. Time to clear the empty bottles off my desk. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with these. Obviously, the flavors aren't very good ideas, but they did a pretty good job nailing them.








The Sopranos Chianti Soda
It has a pretty clear, magenta color and a subtle, sweet smell that has hints of pomegranate, grapes, and roses. Interesting. Simultaneously dry and sweet...like pomegranate or cranberry juice or grape skins. Not too bad, but it doesn't particularly taste like wine. And the flavor dissipates really quickly.

The Sopranos Amaretto Soda
It pours an amber color, similar to Disaronno. It smells pretty much exactly like Disaronno. Pretty fragrant for a soda. Luckily the flavor isn't quite as intense as the scent. It does, however, taste like a Disaronno-flavored soda, which isn't a particularly good flavor. Sort of creamy, with hints of pistachio and maraschino cherry. Maybe it would make a decent mixer.

The Sopranos Limoncello Soda
Sort of a cloudy yellow, it smells pretty intense like Lemonheads or lemon-lime Gatorade. It tastes kinda like Lemonheads too. Unlike the other two, this one has a lingering aftertaste (that is kind of piney). I guess there's a hint of lemon zest in this, which makes it sort of like limoncello. But again, a limoncello soda isn't a very good idea.
