Civilized Cola Drinkers

Civilized cola drinkers know there are colas for every occassion. There IS a protocol after all, a real cola lover would not serve any type of orange or fruity flavor with a tomato sauce meal!

Pizza is an exception, fruity soda MAY be served but use caution, pizza is a grey area in many respects because of the toppings.

When serving shells, lasagna, Chef Boyardee or any other type of tomato rich sauce err on the side of caution and treat your guests and family to a brown bubbly cola. I will take the liberty to suggest Pepsi or Coke.

There are perfect times to serve fruit flavors. A great time is unexpectedly the aperitif! Think prosciutto and melon... that mix of fruity flavor and salty food. Any chips, without salsa of course, would accompany your fruity soda wonderfully. Small salty bite canopies would also fit in well.

White wine should be served with fish, but what type of soda?! The choice is obvious, most fish dishes need the brisk fresh taste of a clear soda, Sierra Mist and Sprite are excellent fish dish choices!

Feel free to send in your queries and links, keep on drinking.
