Dry Soda continues Seattle's tradition of tastemaking beverages. Started, in a sense, with Chateau Ste. Michelle wine, some 30 years ago, moved on quickly to Red Hook beer and Starbucks coffee. Even Thomas Kemper root beer and Jones Soda. Now, another homegrown entry in the hot category of Adult Non-Alcoholic Specialty Beverages.
Comes word that Readers Digest is naming Dry Soda to its "Best of America" list in the May issue, calling it a hidden gem. Says Dry Soda's founder Sharelle Klaus, "I wanted something that wasn't sweet." The first four flavors (kumquat, rhubarb, lemongrass, lavender) were inspired by her garden, with only a little pure cane sugar added.
