In the kitchen and how to use it
This yellow-green citrus soft drink is a caffeinated soda built around a bright, sweet lemon-lime and orange citrus flavor rather than the more common cola or clear lemon-lime profiles. It is served cold, straight from the can or bottle or over ice, and is commonly mixed into slushies, used as a soda float with sherbet or citrus sorbet, or blended into fruit punches at parties where its vivid color and citrus punch stand out.
Keep bottles and cans in the pantry until ready to chill, since refrigeration is what brings out the crisp carbonation; once opened, drink it within a day or two before it goes flat. Per 100 grams it has 49 calories and 12.8 grams of carbohydrate, all from added sugar, with no protein or fat, and because it carries caffeine along with that sugar load, it is best treated as an occasional flavored drink rather than a routine choice, especially in the 473 gram bottle size that multiplies both numbers considerably.
