I recently stumbled across orange flavored Zevia at at local grocery store. It tastes just like old-school Orange Crush! Drinking one brought back childhood memories of spending long summer days with friends at the neighborhood pool. Sometimes parents would give us change for the vending machine, and I either purchased Dr. Pepper or Orange Crush. Good times.
It’s a glorious treat on a hot day, plain served over ice. Bonus – it’s also a lively cocktail ingredient. Since it’s made using Stevia as the sweetener, it is also keto-friendly. I experimented with different ratios of Orange Zevia, vodka, and citrus as I don’t like a very sweet cocktail. A simple addition of step of rimming the glass with lemon balances out the cocktail. If you prefer less citrus, skip this step.
