You Can't Get It Here

We live in the U.S., population over 300 million. Commerce has become our religion. Yet, there are products readily available in Europe, Africa, and Australia that I can't buy here (yet).

Schweppes Lemonade is a case in point. This is not that awful high corn syrup stuff they call lemonade on American soft drink shelves. This is grownup lemonade, with a taste that can stand alone or be be quite good mixed with a little something.

That something need not be alcoholic, not that there's anything wrong with that. So far, the best pairing we've found is mixed with a bit of Rose's Passionfruit Cordial Blend to make a Passionfruit Lemonade. You have no idea how good this is. A little gin can also be a good thing.



While poking around for links as part of this post, I found this U.S. outfit which sells the stuff. Apparently, they make their living by obtaining Australian goodies which otherwise, You Can't Get Here. I have not yet found a U.S. source for the Rose's yet.
