Though most sodas aren’t particularly healthy, some are notably worse due to their ingredients. Many mainstream soda brands use corn syrup and artificial flavorings for sweetness, while others opt for natural sugar. Calorie content remains constant regardless of the sweetener, so for weight loss, it’s the same either way. However, for those interested in the quality of ingredients, here are 7 sodas crafted with real sugar instead of corn syrup.
Mexican Coca-Cola
Mexican Coca-Cola, often preferred over its canned counterpart, is praised for its taste. Bottled and made with pure cane sugar, it’s known for a cleaner and crisper flavor.
Pepsi Throwback
Pepsi Throwback, also branded as Pepsi Real Sugar, offers a nod to the original Pepsi formulation using real sugar. The result? A taste that is smoother and less syrup-laden.
Boylan Cane Cola
Boylan Bottling is a craft soda company that prides itself on using only real cane sugar in its soda. It is brewed in small batches with pure cane sugar, giving it a balanced sweetness and bold cola taste. The Root Beer, Ginger Ale, and Creme Soda are also delicious.
Jarritos Mandarin
Jarritos sodas, popular in Mexico, have made a name for themselves in the US. They come in so many fruity flavors, including Mandarin, Pineapple, Strawberry, and Passion Fruit. All are made with natural flavors and real sugar for a bright, fruity refreshment.
Hansen’s Natural Cane Soda
Made with real sugar and natural flavors, Hansen’s sodas have been my favorite since I was a kid. You can’t go wrong if you opt for Cherry Vanilla, Creamy Root Beer, or Kiwi Strawberry. Each tastes lighter and more natural without corn syrup.
Reed’s Ginger Beer
Reed’s Ginger Beer simply tastes more gourmet and expensive than any other ginger beer on the market. Crafted with fresh ginger, honey, and cane sugar, the bold soda delivers a spicy kick and natural sweetness.
Blue Sky Cherry Vanilla Soda
Blue Sky is another soda brand that relies on natural ingredients, including real cane sugar, to deliver big taste. It comes in a variety of flavors, but one of the most popular is the Cherry Vanilla Soda, a smooth, creamy soda with natural fruit and vanilla flavors.
