In 2003 I discovered Moxie after watching a segment on the Food network. This “new” soda opened my eyes to a world of different sodas that I had never heard of before. This site catalogs my ratings of each of these sodas. If you find any interesting sodas that are not on my list, I would love to try them. If you are interested in trying any of the sodas that I have here, let me know and I'll try to find one for you.

Victoria Naranja


Victoria Naranja : 1/15/2004: This nice orange drink is a little stronger and syrupy than your normal orange crush. It's a little too syrupy for my tastes, but good none the less. 6 thumbs up. Exrta points for the various bumps on its uniquely bumpy bottle.

Naranjilla


Naranjilla : 8/17/2005: Not bad at all - a nice taste like a 50-50 bar. A nice cream taste with the orange.

Materva


Materva : 1/28/2004: Wow - a fruity smell even from 2 feet of the can after opening it. This Cuban soda has a very strong fruity taste to it. It is very sweet. Too sweet for me to finish. 4 thumbs up.

Rafael Rating: 7     - Mike - You're an idiot. Materva is made from the herb "mate" - not a "fruit." But I guess you didn't screw this one up as bad as Malta India (again, not from India).

Malta Hatuey


Malta Hatuey : 1/26/2004: Not since the Malta India that I had 5 minutes ago have I tasted such a terrible beverage. Also, a very malty-molasses taste. Just gross. 1 thumb up.

keef Rating: 8     - I really, really liked it. Complex molasses and malts; a nice head; not too carbonated.

Iron Beer


Iron Beer : 6/11/2003: This is like a slightly fruity cola-rootbeer. It works! It's very good when chilled - I'd give it 8 thumbs up. It is the official drink of Cuba.

david Rating: 1     - THIS POP IS JUST PLAIN BAD.

Coco Solo


Coco Solo : 1/11/2004: CocoSolo is a coconut soda. It says that it is flavored naturally, and I believe it. Now that's coconut! It tastes like coconut milk mixed with a little bit of mineral water. A neat soda, but very rich. 5 thumbs up. Not bad, but I needed to set it down to finish it.
