Lemonata

This is my favorite drink. Why don't we get it in the US? Is it because of the twin evil giants Coke and Pepsi? Lemonata is pleasantly tart whereas Sprite and Mountain Dew are sickly sweet. Pelligrino makes a nice Lemonata that you can find in upscale deli's but you have to be lucky. Thankfully Citerella also carries a real Italian lemon soda. It is critical to have access to one if you want to make a Radler. Radler is half lemon soda and half weiss beer. I first had it in Frankfurt. Radler is also the German word for Bicyclist.

You're right, the Lemon Fanta is amazing. Have you every tried the currant version? It's quite nice. And check this: a place in Texas that sells both: http://www.germandeli.com/fachbcu33.html
