It’s not uncommon for people to open a bottle or can of soda and forget about it when they get distracted by other things. When they discover the soda the next day it has exhausted its fizz and they typically believe there’s no choice but to throw away what remains. Even if the can is still almost full. But such is not the case. There are actually quite a number of things that can be done with flat soda, even vegan, all natural soda that’s gone flat. In this post we’ll look at 8 awesome things you can do with flat soda.
The carbonation in soda can cause bloating, gas, and discomfort in some people. If the soda has gone flat, it may not have the same level of carbonation, which could reduce these effects. If the soda has been left open for an extended period, it may have lost some flavor due to evaporation.
5: Prevent your fruit from going brown
We’ve all heard that if you soak your cut fruit in lemon juice it will prevent it from going brown. But who has a bottle of lemon juice lying around their kitchen? In truth, very few people. Fortunately, there’s another solution to the brown fruit problem: flat soda.
That’s right. If, like most people, you don’t have a bottle of lemon juice lying around but you do have some all natural Breckenridge Blackberry soda that’s gone flat you can soak your cut fruit in that. It will even add a nice taste twist to the proceedings. Here’s a bonus idea: pour your Rocky Mountain Soda over apples then sprinkle them with cinnamon and bake to create world-class baked apples!
1: A new twist on ice cubes
If you have a bunch of flat soda left over from a get-together and you are reasonably sure it’s safe (i.e. people were pouring it from the cans or bottles into glasses and drinking from the glasses, or you were pouring it yourself into glasses for your guests), you can use that leftover pop to create nextgen ice cubes.
While most people like ice in their drinks they don’t like the way the drink gets watered down when the ice cubes melt. To prevent that you can add ice cubes made of our kosher Loveland Lemon-Limeade to lemonade or punch and cubes made from our Colorado Cola to mixed drinks that call for cola.
