P’tit Quinquin Soda Artisanal – “Parfum Violette”
When, on occasion, you are a tourist in one of those newly-fabricated inner-city yuppie enclaves, it is typically worth your while to visit the freshly installed “specialty foods” store. There will ALWAYS be one; some shoppe must cater all the condowarming parties, naturally. There you will find many beautifully packaged, barely edible European foodstuffs. Half the time you get lucky and find a well-stocked chocolate department. But then there is the cooler, where you will find the drinks. Ah!
I bought three French 75 cl. bottles of flavoured water: Lemonade, orange/pomegranate, and VIOLET. They are all delicious, all made with real sugar, and all worth the yacht downpayment I forked over for them – but holy fuck – excuse me – were you listening? V I O L E T F L A V O U R. It’s so heavenly, I‘ve been sipping it by the shotglass, and the bottle has lasted two weeks.
I can’t find a pic of the fancy bottles, but I did find one of the bottling plant…?
