Hello,
Probably my favorite flavor of soft drinks is peach, though for some reason this is a rare flavor. The first peach soda I tried was back in the early 90s. Albertons used to sell many Nesbitt's flavors in cans including Peach. It was HEAVENLY! To no surprise this was the first Nesbitt's flavor to start disappearing from the shelves and then eventually all of them were gone. (Island Delight was good too)
I recently ordered some Nesbitt's peach in glass bottles and I can say it doesn't hold a candle to the old Nesbitt's Peach in cans. In fact, it's not very good. Alberston's also had a Shasta Strawberry Peach and while the peach was much more prominent in this drink, I don't consider it a true peach soda, just like classifying Cherry drinks like Cherry cola, cherry creme, black cherry and so on are bogus.
Years went by until I tasted another peach soda and in fact I didn't even know they existed. Before the internet, we all kind of lived in our own little cocoons. But in 96 I got to try Peach Crush, then Big K, then a bunch of them in succession. I'm sure there's more than the ones I'll list but out of the ones I've tried here is my favorite peach soda list (in order).
1. Peach Crush -- not even close
2. The old Nesbitt's Peach in cans
3. Sunkist -- similar to Crush
4. Peach Slice
5. Stewarts Peach
6. Big K Peach -- Big K, the best store brand soda anywhere in my opinion!
7. Vess Peach -- for a generic, not too shabby.
8. Nehi Peach -- good flavor but a bit bland
9. Frostie Peach -- only had a few before it went bye bye
10. Filberts Peach-- not enough sugar
11. Big Peach
12. Cool Mountain -- thanks but no thanks. Nasty stuff with virtually no peach flavor.
I think Canada Dry has a Peach that I'm sure is great and likely there are other peach sodas out there which I hope to find someday. I'll post my Cherry soda review soon. (Real cherry soda)![]()
