A tall glass of ruby-pink soda, slurped out of a narrow straw or topped with vanilla ice cream: at age five, it was the ultimate reward, saved for gold stars and special Sundays. PepsiCo brings back the cloyingly sweet taste of childhood with Duke’s Raspberry Soda, which the company re-launched exclusively in Mumbai recently.

This means you can find the drink, stored in retro glass bottles (Masala Soda, Gingerade and Ice Cream Soda flavours will be available in a couple of weeks as well) at most convenience and grocery stores around the city instead of  just handful of Irani joints like Britannia.

And now that you’re all grown up, you can spike the soda with a healthy dose of Bombay Sapphire, or like Ankit Negagandhi (super bartender who most recently worked on the drinks for Ra.One) suggests, any other white spirit. “Just pour in the alcohol, add lots of ice, and you’ve got a great cocktail.”

Cheers!
