Cola
Cola has historically been my favorite soda flavor; however, I think the Chocolate Cola I recently brewed from a 4 oz bottle of concentrate just topped it. If you are unsure of a flavor, you should probably order the 4 oz bottle of concentrate to try it out first before grabbing a whole gallon of the stuff.
The Rio Cola concentrate can brew a good cola. I figured it had to be better than the Soda Stream cola flavor that it was replacing. I was very correct. Depending on which sweetener you use and how strong you mix it, you can get very close to the flavors of the major brands (without the high fructose corn syrup or fructose-glucose crap as it's referred to here in Canada).
It also turns out to be much cheaper (even one one includes the cost of shipping across the border into Canada). Now when I say much cheaper, I mean like 1/4 the cost tops, although that doesn't include the sweetener. Even with the sweetener cost, I still come in at well under half the cost of the Soda Stream syrup offered locally. The gallon jugs are the way to go when it comes to being cost efficient. I personally order 1 gallon as this should yield between 700-800 liters of soda. I am planning on placing another order when this batch starts to get low; however, I am currently leaning toward the Chocolate Cola flavor. Guess I will see when that time comes. Obviously I recommend the Cola and the gallon format to order it in.
